Frequently Asked Questions
What is St. Michael the Archangel the patron saint of?
St. Michael is the patron saint of police officers, military personnel, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, grocers, mariners, paratroopers, and radiologists. More broadly, he's the patron of the Universal Church, protector against evil, and defender of all the faithful in spiritual warfare. Anyone in dangerous professions or facing spiritual battles invokes St. Michael's intercession.
Should I get dime size or quarter size?
Dime size (3/4" x 1/2") is best for subtle, everyday wear under clothing or for those who prefer smaller jewelry. Quarter size (1" x 3/4") is ideal if you want the medal visible over clothing, for uniforms, or to make a stronger statement of faith. Both sizes show excellent detail.
What's the difference between gold filled and solid gold?
14K Gold Filled has a thick layer of 14K gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core—it won't tarnish or rub off and offers great value. 14K Solid Gold is 14K gold throughout the entire medal—it's heirloom quality, more valuable, and can be resized or repaired by jewelers. Gold filled is excellent for daily wear; solid gold is best for treasured gifts and heirlooms.
Can this medal be blessed by a priest?
Absolutely! Catholic sacramentals like medals should be blessed by a priest to increase their spiritual effectiveness. Simply bring your St. Michael medal to your parish priest and ask for the blessing of religious articles. Many priests will bless medals after Mass or during confession times.
How do I care for my St. Michael medal?
Sterling Silver: Clean with silver polish cloth; tarnish is natural. Gold Filled & Solid Gold: Wipe with soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Pewter: Clean with mild soap and water. Remove before swimming, showering, or heavy exercise to preserve finish. Store in jewelry pouch when not wearing.
Is this appropriate for women too?
Yes! While St. Michael medals are especially popular with men in protective professions, women police officers, military personnel, firefighters, and EMTs also wear them. Additionally, many women wear St. Michael medals for spiritual protection, strength in difficult situations, or as mothers praying for their families' safety.
What's the full St. Michael prayer?
"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
