Husband, father, grandfather , great grandfather, brother and co-founder of JeriCo Christian Journeys. (‘Jeri’ of JeriCo)

Jerry Schwarzbauer passed away peacefully today after 30 years of serving as a Catholic deacon. It seems especially fitting that he went home on the Feast of St. Lawrence, patron saint of deacons. ❤️🙏

Prayers are welcome, especially for his wife Colleen, children, grandchildren & great grandchildren.

A view of our days 3 & 4 (and some of 2). We have been feeling so blessed this trip. Look at those beautiful skies- thank you Lord! Two more days of our journey. We’d appreciate prayers of continued energy and safe travels.

We are feeling very patriotic on our current Bus Pilgrimage!! Yesterday we saw the ‘Field of Dreams’ set in Dyersville, IA, after watching the movie together. ⚾️ Today we are at the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, IL, and they are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the USA- we get a special look at the 13th ammendment and the emmancipation proclamation.

Viva Las Vegas! Another work trip for the books, and the church we attended was Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer. Loved the gorgeous statues on the wall.
