What if you could receive protection for your home from storms and lightning while also protecting against contagious diseases?
What if you could protect your home from diabolical influences while also protecting your family from the temptations of purity?
These are just a few of the promises afforded to your family when you install the St. Benedict medal in your home.
We realized that more families need to be aware of this important sacramental and utilize it to protect themselves. However, this sacramental is more available than ever to Catholic families thanks to a change made in 1964.
Pope Paul VI declared in 1964 that any priest could bestow the special blessing of the St. Benedict medal (which has been blessed with a unique exorcism prayer since 1741!) to help make its protection more readily available to the faithful.
Our goal is to have this medal installed in every Catholic home. We have already shipped thousands of standing St. Benedict medals along with everything you need to bless your home for 2026.
Now, while the ability to bestow a St. Benedict medal blessing has been available to all priests since 1964, many priests are not necessarily versed in this special blessing. To make it easy, we include a large card with the complete blessing for you to bring with your medal so your priest knows exactly what to say and do.
Stilll not sure if you need to have the St. Benedict medal installed in your home? Here is the complete list of powers uniquely associated with the medal:
- To destroy witchcraft and all other diabolical influences;
- To keep away the influences of wicked and evil-minded persons;
- To impart protection to persons tempted, deluded, or tormented by evil spirits;
- To obtain the conversion of sinners into the Catholic Church, especially when they are in danger of death;
- To serve as an armor against temptation, especially temptations again purity;
- To destroy the effects of poison;
- To secure a timely and healthy birth for children;
- To afford protection against storms and lightning;
- To serve as an efficacious remedy for bodily afflictions and a means of protection against contagious diseases.
