This saint medal commemorates Pope Gregory I, commonly known as Gregory the Great. As Pope, he introduced reforms of the clergy and clerical affairs, established guidelines of religious practice, promoted monasticism, and sent monks to England. He rebuilt Rome after several natural disasters and wrote many books, including a comprehensive volume on the saints. He is also notable for creating the form of worship we know today as Gregorian chant. St. Gregory is the patron saint of musicians, singers, and teachers. His feast day is September 3.

This St Gregory medal depicts the Pope with a dove, symbolizing his successful peacemaking efforts; a book reflects his authorship. The finely detailed sterling silver penny-sized medal sparkles with diamond-cut accents and hangs on an 18 inch stainless steel clasped chain, rhodium-plated to maintain shine. Patron saint medals are especially popular for First Communion and Confirmation, and the blank backside allows for personalized engraving. We offer personalized engraving here at St. Patrick's Guild for the reasonable price $9.95 for two lines. Click here for more details. The St. Gregory medal comes in a lovely green velvet hinged jewelry box.
