Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

HUNTERSVILLE — Father Leo Patalinghug stopped by Christ the King High School Oct. 21 to talk to students while he is in town for a three-day parish mission at St. Mark Church.

While at the school he gave an energetic and entertaining talk to reach the teens on their level. Using the theme of superheroes, Father Patalinghug asked the kids how they can act as superheroes for others. “God is the author of our life,” he said. “A lot of people think God is not necessary, but God has a plan for you.

Eventually, however, you are going to question the Author. Until you get to a higher vantage point where you can see perspective, you can’t see what a superhero does.

The process of being saved doesn’t always feel good. From now until you get to heaven, you are not saved yet.” Father Patalinghug is the founder of Plating Grace Ministry.

He has a cooking show on EWTN and uses food to bring people together. For details about his ministry, go to www.fatherleofeeds.com.
