The Knights of St Michael the Archangel is a movement overseen by the Congregation of St. Michael the Archangel. During the trial period of three months the candidate should follow all the rules (Statutes), which includes curtailing bad habits such as alcohol or smoking, eventually eliminating them completely if one can. It is permissible to have a glass of wine with a meal.
The official name of this apostolic movement is The Knights of Saint Michael the Archangel. The main task of the knights is to proclaim the victory of Jesus Christ over Satan. The knights are sent on a mission to expiate God for the sins of humankind and to obtain the conversion of sinners. They aim to achieve this by reciting the Prayer of St Michael the Archangel ad link to defend us in the day of battle. This simple prayer of exorcism is said every day to keep away evil spirits from oneself, the Church and the whole world, particularly from those that are tempted and possessed by Satan. It is referred to in these set of the Rules (Statutes) as the prayer of simple exorcism.
