Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Through the Carmelite tradition, Catholics have looked to Our Lady under this title for centuries, asking her to help us remain close to Jesus Christ.

One of the beautiful ways the Church has expressed this devotion is through the Brown Scapular—a sacramental worn as a sign of our desire to follow Christ and entrust ourselves to Mary's motherly care.

As part of our parish priority to strengthen marriage and family life, we encourage families to embrace simple Catholic devotions that help keep Christ at the center of the home. The Brown Scapular is one such tradition that has been passed down through generations.

This weekend, children and adults alike will have the opportunity to be enrolled in the Brown Scapular at all weekend Masses.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint.

One of our parish priorities is growing in our love for Sacred Scripture. St. Kateri's desire "to know what is most pleasing to God" is the same desire every disciple should have.

When we open Sacred Scripture, we discover God's heart and His invitation to live as His sons and daughters.

May St. Kateri inspire us to seek the Lord with that same openness and love.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha, pray for us.

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Benedict, father of Western monasticism and patron saint of Europe.

One of St. Benedict's most enduring reminders is simple:

"Prefer nothing whatever to Christ."

Those words aren't meant only for monks. They're an invitation for all of us—for our marriages, our families, and our homes.

As we continue focusing on our parish priority of strengthening the Domestic Church, St. Benedict reminds us that every Christian home flourishes when Christ is at its center. Every decision, every conversation, every act of love begins by asking: Am I putting Christ first?

May we each grow in the desire to prefer nothing whatever to Christ.

St. Benedict, pray for us.

Who can be enrolled in the Brown Scapular?

The answer is simple: any Catholic—children and adults alike!

During the weekend of July 18–19, Fr. Tatro will offer enrollment in the Brown Scapular at each of our weekend Masses.

If you already own a Brown Scapular, simply bring it with you to Mass that weekend.

If you don't have one, St. John's is happy to provide one for you. We simply ask that you sign up ahead of time so we know how many scapulars to have available.

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll continue sharing more about this beautiful devotion and its connection to Our Lady of Mount Carmel as we prepare for enrollment together as a parish family.

📍 Sign up in the gathering space or through the parish Flocknote if you would like St. John's to provide your Brown Scapular.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.

Happy Independence Day!

Today, as our nation celebrates its 250th year, we give thanks to God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our country. We also recognize our continued need for His guidance, mercy, and grace.

As Catholics, one of the greatest ways we can love our country is by praying for it.

Today, let us pray for:
💙Our nation and its future
🙏 Our leaders and all who serve the common good
🕊️ Peace in our communities and throughout the world
❤️ That every heart may come to know and follow Jesus Christ

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." — Psalm 33:12

May God continue to bless our country and lead us ever closer to Him.

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle.

As we continue pursuing our parish priority of growing in our love for Sacred Scripture, St. Thomas reminds us that the Gospel is more than history—it is an invitation to encounter the risen Christ.

Thomas moved from doubt to faith when he met Jesus face to face, proclaiming, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28)

Every time we open Sacred Scripture, we encounter the same Lord who transformed the hearts of the Apostles.

St. Thomas, pray for us.

Have you ever wondered why so many Catholics wear a Brown Scapular?

The Brown Scapular is one of the Church's oldest and most beloved sacramentals, given through the Carmelite tradition as a sign of devotion to Our Lady and a reminder to faithfully follow her Son, Jesus Christ.

For centuries, Catholics have worn the Brown Scapular as a daily reminder to live lives of prayer, holiness, and trust in Mary's maternal care.

Later this month, our parish will have the opportunity to be enrolled in the Brown Scapular together. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing more about this beautiful devotion and what it means for Catholics today.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
