This antique Catholic medal on chain is a beautifully preserved piece of devotional jewelry, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century. Crafted with care and reverence, the medal features classic religious imagery on the front—of the Sacred Heart, Miraculous Medal, St. Joseph, and St. Christopher—rendered in a style typical of Catholic medals from the 1920s to 1940s. The silver-tone surface has developed a soft patina, and while unmarked and untested, the medal may be made of pewter.
On the reverse, a powerful inscription reads: "I am a Catholic – Please Call a Priest." This message was commonly engraved on devotional medals worn by the faithful, especially in times of illness, war, or travel—underscoring the wearer’s desire to receive the Sacraments in an emergency. It's a poignant reminder of the medal’s purpose as both spiritual protection and personal expression of faith.
The medal shows gentle wear consistent with age, adding to their authentic vintage character. This piece is a wonderful example of Catholic devotional jewelry for anyone seeking a meaningful expression of enduring faith.
