Do You Want to be Enrolled in the Brown Scapular?

The Brown Scapular is not magic. It is a habit. By wearing it, you say: Mother, I belong to you.

What do you need?
1. The Sacrament of Baptism
You must be a baptized Catholic.

2. A Brown Scapular of brown wool
Not plastic, not metal, not a medal for enrollment — real brown wool.

3. The 21-Day Brown Scapular Catechesis
This is our Investiture and Consecration Formation. The Apostolate of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Brown Scapular organizes this in parishes and schools. You must complete it before enrollment.

4. The Enrollment Rite
On the day of enrollment, the Priest blesses the Scapular, places it over your head, and prays the prayer of the Church, consecrating you to Our Lady.

By this enrollment, you become a member of the Carmelite Family.
