  • Hello Father Leo!

    Ok, I should have been in church this morning, but instead I was home watching my favorite Sunday show, Sunday Morning. I loved this morning’s show about food. But the story I enjoyed the most was the one of you and your ministry! I’m sorry to say that I have never heard of you before this morning, but I think I am now one of your newest fans! I love your spirit and I love how you show that you can love God and still enjoy life! I think your joy is infectious and it shows in those I saw around you.

    I also love to cook and I think it is wonderful how you show that sitting around the table with the family to share meals keeps the family together and kids out of trouble. Growing up, we also ate around the table. As we grew up, this changed and we all went our separate ways. Now we are older and we fight to see who gets to cook Sunday dinner for the family at our own homes! We invite anyone who wants to join us. Me being single, I usually don’t cook a full meal for myself. One part lazy and one part not being a fan leftovers keeps me from cooking every night. So when I really want to cook, I call the family and friends and tell them when to show up. They don’t even ask what I’m cooking anymore because they know whatever it is, it will be good and the dinning room will be set just for them! This is my way of keeping in touch with them.

    I just wanted to let you know that I believe God has blessed you with your gifts and you are using them to the fullest to help all around you. I wish you continued success and hope that God continues to bless and keep you. If you ever find yourself in Connecticut, I invite you to come to my home and I will cook for you! How does curried shrimp sound? LOL! Heck, maybe you can visit my church, Liberty Christian Center where Dr. Keith A. Bolton is my pastor. We do a lot of fun stuff at our church as well!

    Be Blessed

  • Dearest Father Leo,

    I just “met” you on CBS Sunday Morning. I Praise God for sending us such a priest!

    I have a son with special needs and would love to see a segment on tasty pureed foods, thickened drinks, and foods that are easy to chew and swallow. Persons with special needs as well as some of our elderly brothers and sisters would benefit from such recipes.

    Thank you, and may you have a blessed Feast of Christ The King.

    Sincerely,
