Welcome
Fr. Leo Patalinghug

Welcome to the new Grace Before Meals website, the online source for families looking to strengthen their relationships through shared mealtime experiences. For me, the kitchen has always been a great place to connect with friends and family, and over the past few years, I’ve met thousands who feel as passionately about this as I do. We’ve redesigned our website to offer you even more information on how to not only nourish your body, but your mind and spirit, too.

Be sure to check out our new features and join the movement to bring families back to the table.
