Our Lady of Mt. Carmel 

This coming Thurs., July 16, is the Feast of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. It was a tradition to receive a Brown Scapular and be installed at First Communion. It is said that Mary promised St. Simon Stock a final perseverance to those who die wearing the Brown Scapular. Because of the intercession of Our Lady, she would take the scapular wearer to heaven on the first Saturday after their death. At the moment we are struggling or need guidance, the tug of the scapular chord would remind us that our Blessed Mother is always with us.
