ST. MICHAEL’S MISSION

A long tradition identifies St. Michael the Archangel, as the leader who remained faithful to God, and cast Lucifer at God’s command. His powerful aid has always been invoked by the Church in time of emergency.

The Popes have constantly called on St. Michael as the special protector of the Church whenever great evils threatened God’s people. For this reason, St. Michael is especially honored at Rome, on Monte Gargano, near Foggia, in Italy, and in France on Mont St. Michel in Normandy.

In times of unusual danger, when the malice of the devil seems triumphant, St. Michael will come to our aid.

ST. MICHAEL TODAY

With street crime so prevalent in our society, with robberies and violence multiplying, St. Michael is venerated as special guardian of persons against bombings, muggings, rapes and assault. The great archangel defends us against the wickedness of sneak thieves, murderers, and fiends who roam like devils incarnate through our neighborhoods.

ST. MICHAEL, PATRON OF POLICEMEN

As a special patron of the police, and all who must guard the public’s safety, St. Michael is invoked to strengthen the forces of public order. He remains on watch with the police against the many sins and deceits of men who despise God’s law no less than the ordinances of men.

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
