Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil,
may God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
The Michaelite Fathers
The Congregation of Saint Michael Archangel (Michaelite Fathers) was founded by Blessed Bronislaw Markiewicz. Headquartered in Warsaw, the Congregation now operates in a number of countries around the world including Argentina, Paraguay, Italy, Germany, Belarus, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Austria and Canada.
In Australia the Congregation has pastoral responsibility for parishes in the Archdiocese of Sydney (North Ryde, Clovelly) and the Diocese of Broken Bay (Terrigal). It also operates a Novitiate and House of Formation at North Ryde for the formation of Michaelite seminarians from the region. In Papua New Guinea, the Congregation engages in missionary work in the Diocese of Wabag and in the Archdiocese of Mt Hagen.
