Join us for this Novena on July 7th to July 16th. The Rite for the Blessing of and the Enrollment in the Scapular of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel will take place on July 16 at Incarnation Church after the 5PM Mass.

The Scapular of our Lady of Mount Carmel is a sign of the motherly love of the Virgin Mary, which reminds us of her care for the members of the Carmelite family, especially in moments of great need. It is a love which invites love in return.

The Scapular is a mirror of the humility and purity of Mary: through her simplicity she invites us to live modestly and in purity. By wearing the Scapular day and night, it becomes a sign of our constant prayer and of our special dedication to the love and service of the Virgin Mary.

By wearing the scapular, you renew your baptismal vow to put on our Lord Jesus Christ. In Mary, your hope and salvation will be safeguarded, because in her the God of Life has made his abode.
