Entrust Your
Apostolate to Mary
Scapular Missions support pastors, campus ministers, and spiritual leaders as they:
- Guide college students through periods of growth and transition

- Invite individuals and parish communities to strengthen their relationship with Jesus and the Blessed Mother
- Deepen spiritual formation within their communities through prayer and the sacraments.

Carmelite spirituality is ever-deepening. Whether you are looking for an introduction to Marian devotion and the Brown Scapular or ongoing formation, we adapt retreats to the needs of your group. Scapular Missions are limited at this time to the territory of the Discalced Carmelite Friars, Province of St. Joseph (U.S. West Coast to the Rocky Mountains, Alaska, Hawaii, and our mission in Uganda, Africa).
