Saint George Saint Joan of Arc Michael the Archangel Watch Over our Men and Women in Uniform


Today, we will honor Men and Women in Uniform and Service to America at Leo High School.


Yesterday, my daughter and her classmates of Mother McAuley and the students of Brother Rice High School, lined Pulaski to welcome home the body of Army Spc. Jared Stanker killed in the service of his country.

Yesterday, a terrorist in uniform murdered his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

God Bless all who labor for Peace in Uniform and in Defense of America.

Saint George, Saint Joan of Arc,Michael the Archangel are Patron Saints of the Military.

One of the best Intercessions that Catholics pray is to St. George.

Faithful servant of God and invincible martyr, Saint George;
favored by God with the gift of faith, and inflamed with an ardent love of Christ, thou didst fight valiantly against the dragon of pride, falsehood, and deceit. Neither pain nor torture, sword nor death could part thee from the love of Christ. I fervently implore thee for the sake of this love to help me by thy intercession to overcome the temptations that surround me, and to bear bravely the trials that oppress me, so that I may patiently carry the cross which is placed upon me; and let neither distress nor difficulties separate me from the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Valiant champion of the Faith, assist me in the combat against evil, that I may win the crown promised to them that persevere unto the end.
