Pope Benedict XV (d.1922): "Let all of you have a common language and a common armour: the language, the sentences of the Gospel; the armour, the Scapular of the Virgin of Carmel, which you all ought to wear and which enjoys the singular privilege of protection even after death."
Why Promote the Scapular?
One of the most popular Marian devotions in the Church is the Scapular. It used to be on par with the rosary. In truth it is on par with the rosary except that few Catholics know about the scapular today! Everyone should wear this sacramental! There are three promises: protection in life, peace and whosoever dies wearing the Brown Scapular shall not suffer the eternal fire. These are some amazing promises and some 170,000 people die each day. Why not trust Our Lady and help promote this to everyone.
Scapular Making:
We have a small team of parishioners and friends who make scapulars for our parish and beyond. We have given away thousands of brown scapulars for free. We support and work closely with the Scapular Apostolate, Inc, (www.scapularap.com)whose mission is to try to get these scapulars out to the world. The Scapular Apostolate seeks to 'put a scapular around everyone's shoulder' . They have been trying to build an automated robotic machine that can make millions - not easy to achieve!
Would you be willing to make scapulars at home or at the church?
