Hymn of the Month - May: The Mystagogy of Little White Guest

Behind the simple melody of a beloved First Communion hymn lies a century-long mystery involving the Royal College of Music, a forgotten English composer, and the dedicated sisters who shaped American parochial life. From its 1937 radio debut to its thirty-year legacy in an Akron choir loft, "Little White Guest" is more than just a song—it is a musical inheritance. Join me as we uncover the true identity of the mysterious "R.F.M." and explore the "Heart-Garden" that prepared generations of children to welcome their Divine Guest.
