Benedict Medal

The medal of St. Benedict?

Hey, I just wanted to, I know some things about the St. Benedict medal. First, I am looking to buy one, but I do not know, I buy a cheap one or expencive though. I will take a long time and suddenly I do not want to lose. I found this on a web page $ 35.99 but its value, and then I found a very cheap anywhere else worth 0.15 cents. Should I buy a value of 20 thats $ 40 or a value of 0.10 cents thats Dollar Buy - $ 10? Even so, blessed. I know to do, but how do I choose a priest, a priest or request. What appears in a church and ask them to bless me? I have to pay to be blessed? I live in Colorado, and I do not know what church or anything. Anything could help. Thank You.
