No Strangers Here was composed at the encouragement of Fr. Raymond Sacca, the pastor of St Joan of Arc Parish in San Ramon, CA. It was intended as a unifying act of hospitality when our neighboring Interfaith leaders were with us for the 40th-anniversary celebration of the parish. The words speak of the many ways in which we all share the same hope for a peaceful, loving world, regardless of the hatred and intolerance that often serves to divide us in this time.
