Saint Michael, Defend Those Who Protect Us

Our Mission: Place a Saint Michael the Archangel prayer card into the hands of every law enforcement officer in the United States.

900,000 Holy Cards. One Nation. One Prayer.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of men and women put on a uniform, fasten their protective equipment, and leave their families to serve and protect their communities.

Some will respond to emergencies. Some will encounter violence. Some will comfort the grieving, search for missing children, assist accident victims, or place themselves in harm's way to save a stranger.

And behind each officer is a family hoping and praying that their loved one will return home safely.

We want every one of these men and women to know something simple and deeply meaningful:

You are not forgotten. You are appreciated. And someone is praying for you.


A Mission of Faith, Gratitude, and Protection

Trademark Catholic Stationery & Gifts, LLC is organizing a nationwide mission to produce and distribute 900,000 traditional Catholic holy cards featuring Saint Michael the Archangel, the great defender against evil and patron of police officers.

On the reverse of each card will be the traditional Prayer to Saint Michael, asking God's protection against evil.

These cards will be offered completely free of charge to participating law enforcement agencies and their personnel.

Our goal is to reach police officers, sheriff's deputies, state troopers, federal agents, tribal law enforcement officers, corrections personnel where feasible, and other men and women serving in law enforcement throughout the United States.

This is not a political campaign. It is not a campaign supporting one political party or position. It is an expression of Christian charity, gratitude, and prayer for the human beings who serve our communities.

We welcome the support of Catholics, other Christians, law enforcement families, and all people of goodwill who wish to encourage those who serve.


Why Saint Michael?

In Sacred Scripture, Saint Michael appears as a defender of God's people and a leader in the battle against evil.

In Revelation 12:7, Saint Michael and his angels battle the dragon.

For generations, Catholics have invoked Saint Michael's intercession for spiritual protection, courage, and strength in the face of danger.

His image is especially meaningful to those whose vocation requires them to confront danger, protect the vulnerable, uphold justice, and resist evil.

We believe that a small holy card can carry a powerful message: you are worth praying for.

The card can be kept in a wallet, placed in a patrol vehicle, carried in a pocket, or taken home to a spouse, parent, or child.

It is a small, tangible reminder of God's presence and of a grateful community's prayers.


Our Nationwide Goal: 900,000 Holy Cards

Federal statistics identify hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers serving throughout the United States.

Our initial production target is 900,000 holy cards, allowing us to work toward nationwide coverage and provide additional cards for recruits, staffing changes, and agencies requiring supplemental quantities.

We will work to identify and contact federal, state, county, municipal, and tribal law enforcement agencies, confirm appropriate delivery arrangements, and distribute the cards in coordinated shipments.

We will prioritize agency-approved distribution and respect the right of each recipient to accept or decline religious materials.

Every card will be provided without charge, without any requirement to participate in religious activity, and without obligation.


What Will Your Gift Support?

Our preliminary national fundraising goal is $250,000.

This budget includes:

$63,000 for the printing of 900,000 holy cards.

$85,000 for nationwide shipping.

$16,000 for envelopes, packaging, and labels.

$32,000 for distribution labor and fulfillment.

$12,000 for agency research, address verification, and tracking.

$7,000 for campaign outreach and reporting.

$8,000 for estimated payment processing fees.

$27,000 for contingencies, postage increases, reprints, and delivery challenges.


These figures are planning estimates and will be refined using actual vendor and shipping quotations. Funds will be administered by Trademark Catholic Stationery & Gifts, LLC, including payment for documented production and fulfillment services. This is a business-organized religious outreach fundraiser, not a claim of nonprofit or tax-exempt status.

We will publish progress reports identifying cards produced, cards shipped, agencies reached, expenses incurred, and any material changes to the budget.

If the full fundraising goal is not reached, we will proceed in affordable stages, beginning with participating agencies and expanding as funding permits.


How You Can Help

Make a financial gift. A contribution of any amount helps cover the production, preparation, and delivery of these prayer cards.

Sponsor an agency. Help us provide Saint Michael prayer cards to a local police department, sheriff's office, state police post, or another participating agency.

Sponsor a larger shipment. Families, parishes, businesses, Catholic organizations, and community groups can join together to fund distribution to hundreds or thousands of officers.

Connect us with law enforcement agencies. If you serve in law enforcement or have a relationship with a department, help us identify the appropriate person to contact about receiving these cards.

Share this mission. Send the campaign to your parish, family, friends, police associations, Knights of Columbus council, and others who may wish to help.

Pray for our officers. Whether or not you are able to contribute financially, please pray for those who protect our communities, for their families, and for all who have died in the line of duty.

In Honor of Those Who Serve and Those Who Have Fallen

We especially remember officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, those recovering from injuries, those carrying the burden of traumatic experiences, and families who have made profound sacrifices.

May those who serve find courage in danger, wisdom in difficult decisions, compassion toward those who suffer, and peace when their work is done.

And may the families who await their return be strengthened by faith, hope, and love.


Help Us Reach Every Officer in America

Imagine 900,000 Saint Michael holy cards being carried across our country.

In large cities and small towns. On highways and rural roads. In sheriff's offices, patrol cars, police stations, and federal facilities.

Imagine the quiet encouragement of an officer discovering that a complete stranger cared enough to send a prayer.

That is the mission we invite you to join.


One Holy Card. One Officer. One Prayer.

Please consider making a gift, sponsoring a department, and sharing this campaign with others.

May Saint Michael the Archangel defend and protect those who protect us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us!
