This is an expanded version of a previous page for those serving in the military. WE have retained that single page and added a number of prayers to St. Michael the Archangel that are not in the Angels' directory, as well as traditional prayers for those serving in time of war, along with general information on St. Michael and the Angels. We have worked very hard to provide a simply done, comprehensive directory that is still beautiful. A small part of this presentation is to be found in other directories, but we include them here so that you do not have to move around the web site to access them. The Prayers section is also in text format only for printing.

Some of the traditional prayers taken from The Raccolta, and other older sources; newer publications used are:
CATHOLIC PRAYER BOOK FOR THE MARINES, Arr. by Fr. John Burke, C.S.P.,  ROMAN CATHOLIC BOOKS;
and Fulton Sheen's WARTIME PRAYER BOOK, Sophia Institute Press.

As far as we understand it, these devotions are in the public domain, preceding 1943.
