For centuries Catholics have asked his intercession against evil, and his medal, with the cross and the initials of a Latin prayer of exorcism, is one of the best loved sacramentals of the Church. In Rome we gather St. Benedict medals, crucifixes, rosaries, bracelets and key rings and bring them to the Papal audience in St. Peter's Square to be blessed by Pope Leo XIV. Each blessed item ships with a holy card of the Papal blessing.

Start with the page that fits your need. St. Benedict Medals holds the medal itself, from 1/2 inch medals sold in sets to 2.5 inch medals, in brass, bronze, copper, enamel, resin and 925 silver. St. Benedict Crucifixes gathers every cross that carries the medal, from tiny rosary crosses to 7.5 inch wall crosses. Within it you will find Pectoral Crucifixes to wear on the chest and Wall Crucifixes for the home. St. Benedict Rosaries offers wooden and metal rosaries and a few rosary parts.
