What’s our current status?
Stefan continues to make progress in his design and construction of the Scapular Machine - and we couldn’t be more excited!
He’s shared a video of how the current design will work - watch it here.
So far we’ve raised $50,000 towards our goal of building the Scapular Machine - thank you all for your prayers and support!
We will need at least $225,000 to fully build the machine, and from there we will still need to ship and install it so that it can begin production of scapulars. We plan to finish the build by April of this year, and we trust that the Lord will provide.
Why the machine?
There’s nothing better than seeing someone wear the Brown Scapular for the first time.And there’s nothing we dread more than seeing an excited child of God ask for a scapular and then watching their face fall as we have to turn them down due to lack of supplies.
Here’s the truth - every effort to promote the scapular devotion has been so successful that we run out of scapulars faster than we can make them.
People are hungry for God’s mercy and Our Lady’s protection in today’s challenging and uncertain times, and when they hear about this amazing devotion - they want one!
When we first started the Scapular Apostolate, we made all our scapulars by hand. We loved doing that, but we simply can’t keep up. So after prayerful consideration, we’re focusing all of our efforts for now on building the machine so that we can produce all the scapulars we need.
Once we have the supplies taken care we can focus more on spreading the devotion to as many people as possible: parishes, schools, people on the street, even prisons!
Thy will be done
At the end of the day, we know that if God wills it, Our Lady will make it happen.
We’ll continue to keep you updated in this space, and once again we thank you for all of your prayers, donations, and support!
If Our Lady has blessed you through the Brown Scapular then please consider donating to help us spread this powerful devotion to others.
