Millions of Catholics wear the scapular—perhaps you’re one of them. For some, it’s dismissed as superstition, just another box to check on a long list of Catholic devotions. For others, it’s a beautiful reminder of faith. But for those seeking something deeper, enrolling in the scapular confraternity is a doorway to union with the Living God and an invitation into the heart of the Carmelite family.

"Whoever dies wearing
this Scapular will not
suffer eternal fire."

Be Transformed

The scapular has changed the course of life for Catholics around the world. It can change yours too. 

 

"The scapular has been for me fundamentally about relationships..."

 

“Before I found the Scapular, I was praying to God for a way to be closer to him as a busy college student...”

 

“Wearing the Brown Scapular has given me a profound sense of peace...”

Deepen your

consecration

If you have been enrolled in  the scapular, you’re part of the Scapular Confraternity—a community of Catholics seeking union with Christ through Mother Mary and the Carmelite tradition. Actively embracing this family helps you deepen your consecration, hear God’s voice, discern His plan, and find freedom from sin and addiction.

Resist the

prowling lion

It’s all too easy to be lured by the world’s empty promises and the adversary’s temptations. Constant distractions, material comforts, and illusions of control lull us into an ever-greater reliance on a passing world.

Abide in Christ

We cannot resist this path of quiet destruction alone. Only union with Jesus will satisfy our eternal longings. The Scapular Confraternity unites souls searching for something more than this world can offer, helping them abide in Christ’s lasting peace.

Grow In Union

Prayer should be a source of life, not a chore. The Scapular Confraternity helps you grow in spiritual discipline through the wisdom of mystics like St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross.

Implement A Rule of Life

Align your life with God's will through a simple Rule of Life. In a world of constant distraction, this daily practice helps you find clarity and peace in His purpose.

Be Properly Enrolled

The scapular is a sacramental, gifted to us by Mary. Let us guide you through the simple steps to be vested by a priest or deacon and embrace it's full grace.

Be God's
