Sacramentals are a means of grace in our everyday lives. The scapular of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy has been in demand by many of the faithful over the centuries. In recent months, its demand in the U.S. has increased.
The Order of Mercy, or Mercedarians, is looking for a cloistered religious community who would like to make the scapular for distribution. Their community in the U.S. is growing in size, and due to the importance of this part of their apostolate, they are expanding their website at OrderofMercy.org to include a page that will make the sacramental available. (See image above.)
The Order is seeking a scapular maker in the United States, and is willing to pay a fair price for bulk orders. This would be a great cottage industry for a religious community. If this effort does not apply to you, please pass along this email to someone you know.
For more information, contact Fr. Joseph Eddy, O. de M., at 267-670-0503 (cell), or vocations@orderofmercy.org.
