Frequently Asked Questions
Who is St. Christopher and why is he associated with athletes?
St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers, venerated for protection during all journeys β physical and spiritual.

The image of St. Christopher holding the Christ Child is one of the most recognized in Catholic devotional art.
What age range is this necklace appropriate for?

Prayer on the back of the card reads:
Always With You
Dear God Our Father,
help me to wisely use the gifts and talents that You have so graciously bestowed upon me.
Create in me Dear Lord: The right attitude with which to excel in any endeavor. A firm belief in You, Our Savior, that through You I can do great things. A strong desire to never quit, no matter what the odds. A willingness to give 100% of myself to You and to others at all times.
Dear Lord, bestow in me a true understanding that, with You beside me, there is no end to what I can achieve.
Amen.
"Know that I am with you always." β Matthew 28:20
