The Brown Scapular

Our Blessed Mother has shown countless proofs of tenderness, love and care for her children throughout the generations. In particular we can recall in light of the coming feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel the grace of the Holy Scapular, given to St Simon Stock, General of the Carmelite Order, in 1251, by the Blessed Virgin Mary who said to him, "Receive my beloved son, the Scapular of the Order, as the distinctive sign of my confraternity. Whoever dies invested with this Scapular shall be preserved from the eternal flames. It is a sign of salvation, a sure safeguard in danger, a pledge of peace and of my special protection until the end of the ages." Join us this Sunday at 4,00pm for the catechesis and formal enrollment into the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular where you will learn more about its history, the graces it brings and the requierments to recieve Our Lady's promise for those who wear it.

For over 20 years Our Eucharistic Lord has been exposed for the adoration of the faithful 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in our Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Our faithful parishoners sacrifice their time and energy to pray before the Blessed Sacrament to make up for the little love Our Lord Jesus receives from so many throughout the world. It is a wonderful thought to consider how many graces have poured forth from our parish for the sanctification and peace of the world by the prayers of our parishoners before the Holy Eucharist. Perpetual Adoration makes our parish truly special.

"A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."--St Padre Pio

"Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer."--St, Teresa of Calcutta
