Financial Milestones for Scapular Machine

We have made some 20,000 scapulars by hand to date.

However, our supply is out.

We continue to make them day by day! We still have 2000 scapulars that have to be made and sent to Africa, which is great. Remember it takes about 35 hours to make 1000 scapulars by hand and we have just started getting the word out there.

The point is that we feel that we do need this machine!

In addition, awareness of the Brown Scapular is growing day by day and we are hearing stories of its power and great need. There is no easy way to achieve the creation of our first fully automated Scapular Machine.

That’s why we are humbly reaching out to everyone to ask them to pray, spread the word, and if they would like, they can make a donation to this great project. We encourage you to share this hope of ours with others.

Please remember that the machine is a one-time cost. We plan on keeping our cost very low going forward. Consider this: If we made 5 million scapulars the first year, the added cost per scapular would be just 5 cents. (5 million x 5cents = 250K).

The Scapular Machine is under way! We have raised enough funds for phases 1 (conceptual design) and 2 (prototype) - $25,000.

Beginning November 1st, we need to raise $12,500 for the production design. December 1st, we will need the final installment of $12,500 for the completion of the production design.

The next phase is the big one and the most important. This phase is the actual building of the machine. The financial budget for this phase is as follows:

December 31st - $40,000
January 31st - $40,000
February 28th - $45,000

At this point, we begin the verification and commission of the machine. The machine will go through its final testing and then will be shipped to the United States.

April 15th - $22,500
April 30th - $22,500

And after all of your support, the world will have the first (to our knowledge) ever fully automated Scapular Machine which will produce 110,000 scapulars per week (40 hours). It will pay off in the long run! We will now have the ability to answer Our Lady’s request that EVERYONE wear the Brown Scapular. There are 7.75 billion people in the world.

We can now get started!
