Silvia Tejada (Our Border Town Director of Hispanic Ministries) has been teaching the faithful about the tradition of the "Brown Scapular," a sacramental cloth worn around a person's neck to protect that person from the temptations of the world and to allow God and His Blessed Mother to live with us in a special way. Explaining the history of the Brown Scapular, Fr. Pete's homily references St. Simon Stock in 1251 and the devotion of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, whose feast we celebrate on July 16. Fr. Pete will be distributing yet another two hundred scapulars to the faithful this summer as he did last summer - if you wish to receive and be invested to the Brown Scapular, please contact the parish offices.
