The St. Michael Combat Chaplet™ is the refined version of the original 1916 pull-chain “service rosary” issued to U.S. soldiers in World War I.

Hand-assembled with stainless steel beads and reinforced by double-split rings, this rosary is designed to withstand a lifetime of prayer and wear.

Designed by consecrated Catholic priest Father Richard Heilman, it carries the Miraculous Medal, St. Benedict Medal, and Pardon Crucifix—a triple-blessing configuration long recognized as a powerful defense against evil.

This same rosary has been carried and commended by Col. Christoph Graf, Commander of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, as a “spiritual weapon” of unmatched strength.

Each rosary arrives mission-ready, boxed with the God Strong Mini Prayer Book—a complete kit for daily spiritual discipline or a meaningful gift of faith.
