Brown Scapular Devotion
How to Enroll in the Brown Scapular
Enrollment is a short, one-time blessing by a priest that places you under Our Lady's protection. It's simpler than most expect — here's how.
Three simple steps
1
Ask any Catholic priest. Any priest can enroll you — your own parish priest is perfect.
2
Bring your scapular. He blesses it and places it over your shoulders, praying a short blessing.
3
Wear it with devotion. One panel on the chest, one on the back — day and night.
Good to know
Can I wear it before enrolling?Yes — start the day it arrives. Enrollment is the formal step, done whenever you're ready.
Do I re-enroll when it wears out?No. Once enrolled, you're enrolled for life. Simply wear the new one.
Can children be enrolled?Yes — once they understand its meaning, often around First Communion.
