The Saint Michael prayer is very popular among Catholics, and for good reason! It is a powerful prayer asking for protection against evil. The feast of St. Michael (aka Michaelmas) is on September 29, but Catholics pray this prayer all year long. You can find my article all about Michaelmas with lots of info and ideas for celebrating here. But in this article, you will find free printable Saint Michael holy cards!
But first, I want to share with you a special download I have created for Catholic families, my St. Michael Download Pack with St. Michael the Archangel prayer printables!
The St. Michael and the Archangels download pack includes coloring pages, stand up crafts, AND the holy cards for all 3 Archangels- Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. The whole pack is just $3 in the Catholic Icing shop. Be sure to check it out!
Now… The Free St. Michael Holy Cards
My family has always loved the prayer of St. Michael, and so I made printable St. Michael holy cards and have them here to print for free! Each card includes beautiful artwork, and there are several versions available from this free download.
Post continues after this brief information about the Catholic Icing Monthly Membership
Monthly Liturgical Membership
The first set of St. Michael holy cards is plain (just says “St. Michael the Archangel”) and then there’s a set for the patron of police, patron of firefighters, and patron of the military. All of them have the St. Michael prayer on the back. Just print them and cut them out, then fold them in half and attach them with a glue stick. These are perfect for little boys anytime, but will be particularly useful for St. Michael’s feast day, the feast of all the Archangels, (also known as “Michaelmas”) on September 29.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Thank you for sharing.
I love this! My husband converted to Catholicism 3 years ago and took Michael as his confirmation name. He’s in security and immediately connected with St. Michael. I thought it was perfect that this was featured on the day he has an interview for management. Thanks so much for posting!
Very cool! My husband’s confirmation name is St. Joseph. It would have taken unbelievable foresight to choose St. Michael for him- lol!
Congratulations to you and your husband! I hope the little ones are all well-behaved for the ceremony so you can enjoy it, but the blessing of a large family can make for a little joyful wiggliness !
Once again, friend, thanks for that! I just finished ‘creating’ an over-sized guardian angel prayer card for the students that they could color and I would laminate (angel on one side, prayer on the other), but I think I will borrow your idea and put guardian angel side-by-side with its prayer on one side of the card and do the same with St. Michael and prayer on the other. Might be more effective if they can see the angel at the same time that they read the prayer, not to mention having both prayers at hand to learn that much faster.
I will add you and your husband in our prayer for law enforcement, military, and firefighters (and their families). My husband has been a sheriff deputy for 20yrs. and he wears his St. Michael medal under his vest. Our society certainly needs good faithful Christian men in law enforcement. It is so important for them to have their safe place and peace at home. God bless you all.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Congratulations! May God protect your husband always. My Dad was a Police Officer for 34 years and loved it! He passed three years ago and I miss him everyday. I pray this prayer for all law enforcement officials out there. Good luck to you guys!
Thank you! 🙂
I love your card! When we were in Europe, I loved seeing huge St. Michaels painted on the sides of fire and police stations. I pray for them (especially when I hear sirens). God bless your husband!

I cannot remember how long I’ve been wanting to print out this prayer. I decided tonight that nothing is going to stop me, and here we are – a printable version. Thanks a lot
