Brown Scapular enrolment

by

According to the century old Carmelite tradition, the brown scapular of the Carmelites was given by the Blessed Virgin to St. Simon Stock on July 16th in the year 1251. Pope Sixtus V approved a feast in 1587 that commemorates this important private revelation to the English man and crusader, St. Simon Stock in the South of England. If you wish to be enrolled in the confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel by receiving the brown scapular, please  present yourself at the communion rail. Please obtain a brown scapular and hold it in your hand at the beginning of the short ceremony. Canon Wiener will bless the scapulars and then impose them individually.

Weekday Masses week commencing Monday 29th May

by

Masses (including Adoration and Benediction) have been cancelled from Tuesday 30th May to Friday 2nd June (inclusive).

The Canons of the Institute’s UK province will spend the octave of Pentecost together in Lanherne. This fraternal time together helps the Canons to continue their pastoral work and mission, “living the truth in charity.”

Due to this absence, daily Mass will not be offered at St Winefride’s until Saturday 3rd June at 10:00 am followed by First Saturday devotions.
