Catholic nerd pllgrimage: Saint Michael

Since I’ve begun this project, one of the things I’ve noticed is that it’s pretty common in a lot of parishes to recite the Prayer to St Michael after daily Mass concludes (and at one parish, they apparently also do it at Sunday Mass). This is not a prayer I’d encountered before (although apparently I did but it didn’t register when I read Ulysses). Reading the Wikipedia article on the prayer,  I learned that apparently it was standard practice to recite the prayer after Low Mass until 1964 when the practice was  made no longer obligatory. Therefore, it was not surprising to see it appear at the end of the Mass on the feast of Saint Michael at the church of Saint Michael in Orland Park.
