Ep. 27 Father Leo Patalinghug and Msgr. Roger Landry | Shepherd Circle Priest Podcast

In this week's episode Msgr. Roger Landry speaks with Father Leo Patalinghug about his own faith journey beginning as a child not really like Mass, to discerning his own vocation to the priesthood, and the theology of food as he not only talks faith in the kitchen, but helps to serve those in need, both with nourishment of the body and soul. He also discusses his culinary showdown with celebrity chef Bobby Flay and the intersection between food and faith.
