The Brown Scapular Enrollment:
To be enrolled in the Brown Scapular, you must follow a simple process involving a Catholic priest and a 100% brown wool scapular. Once enrolled, you become a member of the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular and are entitled to its spiritual benefits, provided you live a committed Christian life. Requirements
- A Scapular: The scapular must be made of 100% brown wool (no other material like cotton or silk is permitted) and worn with one square on the chest and the other on the back.
- A Priest: Only an ordained Catholic priest has the faculty to enroll a person in the Brown Scapular Confraternity; a deacon cannot perform the enrollment.
- Intention: The person being enrolled should have a genuine devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and a sincere desire to live a faithful Christian life, not treat the scapular as a good-luck charm.
Enrollment Process
- Obtain a Scapular: Acquire a brown wool scapular beforehand. It is helpful to also bring a printed copy of the official investiture rite for the priest, as he may not have one readily available.
- Ask a Priest: Approach a Catholic priest (e.g., after Mass, after Confession, or by appointment) and ask him to enroll you in the Brown Scapular using the prescribed prayers.
- The Ceremony: The priest will use a specific rite of blessing and investiture, which involves prayers, sprinkling the scapular and the person with holy water, and formally placing the scapular on the person while pronouncing the formula of enrollment.
- Automatic Enrollment in Confraternity: Once this ceremony is complete, you are automatically enrolled in the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular and share in the spiritual benefits of the Carmelite Order. Formal written registration is no longer required.
Ongoing CommitmentsAfter enrollment, to receive the full promises and benefits of the devotion, the wearer should:
- Wear the Scapular continuously (except for bathing/showering).
- Live a chaste life according to one's state in life (married or single).
- Pray daily, typically by reciting the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or with a priest's permission, the five decades of the Rosary, or perform some other good work.
If the Scapular wears out or breaks, a new one can simply be put on without needing another enrollment ceremony, as the blessing is primarily on the person.

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
The St.Michael Prayer:
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
The Fatima Prayer:
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.
