Fr. Gary Zerr has served as the pastor of St. Edward Catholic Church in Keizer, OR. for the past 14 years. He has been podcasting his sermons and publishing a weekly spiritual pastor column since 2005, all of which are on his website (www.frgary.com). Before being ordained at age 40, Fr. Gary worked as an agent for American Airlines for over 10 years in Los Angeles, where (among other things) he worked as a lost luggage supervisor as well as a specialist in bumping passengers as needed (!). There are no end of stories and insights from this. Since that time, Fr. Gary has led numerous religious pilgrimages in his 21 years as a priest.
