This blog is for two (2) purposes:

1)  To provide website links and other sources to purchase Saint Benedict medals of low cost

2)  To provide information about the medal itself.

 

Here is a vintage painting of an exorcism taking place by a Catholic Priest.

Today I did a search on the internet to find cheap Saint Benedict medals, but only found a few sources with fairly good prices.

One can do a google search for medals:

Madonna Shops Online is a good source for decent medals.  Here is an example:

They also offer small medals:

   

 

They also offer other miniature medals which are all highly detailed and of reasonable cost.

Here is a site that offers free shipping:

 Ebay has listings but most of the prices aren't real cheap:

The Benedictine Mission House has a nice variety of reasonable cost:

Finally, I decided to call The Rosary House in New Iberia, Louisiana, where I bought my last supply of Saint Benedict medals.  They have a website, but don't have many of their items listed on it.  Their phone and other information can be found at their website:

The Rosary House is a great place to purchase Catholic items.  They make rosaries there and sell them also.  If you ever get down that-a-way, I highly recommend visiting their store.

Some of the items they sell are:

1)  Wall Crucifixes

2)  Rosaries, Rosary beads (crystal!), Rosary findings, Rosary Crucifixes, Rosary chain findings, jump rings

3)  Scapulars - they have a wide variety

4)  Catholic books, bibles, and childrens books

5)  Windchimes of high quality

6)  Beeswax Candles and other candles (votives, etc.)

7)  Statues

8)  First Communion, Confirmation & other Sacramental  Memory gifts

9)  Boxes of Catholic Cards with Saints, the Blessed Mother, etc. of high quality

10) Church supplies

11)  Church Incense - they have a wonderful variety 

12)  Christmas ornaments

13)  Holy Cards - they have a wide variety

14)  Holy Water bottles, rosary cases, you name it!

I was able to buy oxidized Saint Benedict medals from them today for 35 cents each, which is half the cost or less than what you find online.

I hope this is helpful to the people out there searching for these medals!!!
