First Saturday Mass &

Investiture of the Brown Scapular

August 1st

"Behold, your mother." — John 19:27

Join us for First Saturday Mass as we celebrate the maternal love of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and welcome those who wish to be invested in the Brown Scapular and enrolled in the Confraternity.

According to the Carmelite tradition, St. Simon Stock received the Brown Scapular from the Blessed Virgin Mary in the 13th century as a sign of her maternal protection and an invitation to imitate her life of faith, prayer, and discipleship. For centuries, Catholics throughout the world have worn the Brown Scapular as an outward sign of their desire to belong more fully to Christ through the guidance and intercession of His Mother.

Following the 8:30 a.m. First Saturday Mass on Saturday, August 1, members of the Carmelite Community of Saint Brigid will offer a light breakfast and presentation in the Parish Hall. They will share the history of the Carmelite Order, the meaning of the Brown Scapular, and the rich spiritual heritage that has inspired generations of Catholics.

Mary's entire life points us to her Son. The Brown Scapular is not a talisman or superstition, but a sacramental of the Church—a visible reminder to clothe ourselves in Christ, persevere in prayer, and entrust ourselves to the loving care of Our Blessed Mother.

Whether you are encountering this devotion for the first time or have faithfully worn the Brown Scapular for many years, we warmly invite you to join us for this beautiful morning of worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.

All are welcome.

Every Friday of the year, and not only the Fridays in Lent, is a special day of penance as stipulated in the Code of Canon Law: “The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent.” —(Canon 1250).
