Sr. Caroljean Willie, Sister of Charity of Cincinnati, shares the song “If A Stranger” with the Vincentian Family. Although the song is copyrighted by the Columban Fathers, they have given us permission to use it and post it on the Famvin website. Sister Terry Thorman, SC wrote the song to include in the Global Awareness and Mission Education program that Sr. Caroljean wrote for the Columbans. The program, called Journey to Jesus, is for Pre-K to 8th grade. This song was included in the 7th grade segment entitled “Migrants, Immigrants, and Refugees.”

From the Columban Fathers website:

Journey with Jesus [is] our Mission Education Program designed for elementary schools and Religious Education classes in parishes. The program has curriculum for each grade starting with pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. Each curriculum has a unique theme that brings world realities and the work of missionaries to the student learning experience. The primary goals of the program are to give students a deeper understanding of their baptismal call to mission, develop global awareness and a sense of interconnectedness of all creation, and encourage students to reflect and become active participants in creating God’s kingdom on Earth.
