Wishing everyone a meaningful day of reflection and a restful long weekend ahead.

Join us this Fourth of July at Jericho for a sensory-friendly, fireworks-free evening by the pond as we celebrate community, inclusion, and the legacy of our founder, Father Robert Wagner.

Father Wagner believed every person deserves dignity, belonging, and the opportunity to thrive.

Today, Jericho continues that mission by creating programs and spaces where people with disabilities and their families can build connections, experience joy, and feel welcomed exactly as they are.

Bring a picnic dinner, blankets, lawn chairs, and your favorite snacks as we gather by the water for acoustic music, glowing luminaries, and a peaceful celebration under the evening sky.

Together, we will honor Father Wagner's birthday and celebrate the community he dreamed of creating.

We look forward to sharing this special night with you and your family.

A HUGE thank you to Bill Page and Gerry Page for helping make Jericho’s Touch-A-Truck such an incredible day!

When a few others let us down at the last minute, Bill and Gerry stepped up without hesitation while hosting their own open house. Their generosity and willingness to help made all the difference.

Because of them, our community got to enjoy an amazing day filled with fire trucks, ambulances, construction equipment, big trucks, and more. Seeing the smiles, excitement, and pure joy on the faces of children and families throughout the day reminded us just how special this community truly is.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every business, department, and community member who brought a truck or vehicle for the kids to explore. Your time, effort, and generosity created unforgettable memories and made this event possible.

Thank you all for showing what community is all about. When people step up for one another, amazing things happen. We are so grateful for your partnership, kindness, and support of Jericho and the families we serve.
