Whene'er we hear that glorious word.

I am a Little Catholic
I am a little Catholic
I love my holy faith
I will be true to holy Church
And steadfast unto death. I shun the school of those who seek
To snare poor Catholic youth
No Church I own, no schools I know,
But those that teach the truth
Campion, E
