Millions of people around the world wear the small brown cloth around their shoulders known as the Carmelite Brown Scapular. This sacramental - one of the most popular across the Church - is a symbol of belonging to the wider Carmelite Family, and of pledging oneself to the protection of Our Lady and the service of her son Jesus Christ.

For many years, the National Shrine of Saint Jude has promoted the Carmelite devotion to the souls of the departed by establishing a Dead List that is renewed each year. People simply send in their lists of dead relatives and friends to be included in our prayers for the Holy Souls. All those on your list will become members of the Carmelite Holy Souls Society for the year. Membership includes: 1. A daily Mass for deceased relatives and friends through the year (except the three days of Holy Week); 2. A Mass each month for deceased members and benefactors; 3. A share in the Masses, prayers and good works of the whole Carmelite Order. There is no fixed membership fee, or annual subscription. Please simply donate what you would like to become a member.

Having a Mass said for the needs of a special person, for a special request, or in thanksgiving has a long history in the Catholic Church. We are honoured to pray with you for your intention. The Mass will be celebrated by the Carmelites at the Shrine of Saint Jude, or Carmelite missionaries overseas. Please allow between four to six weeks. Your offering supports our work. Donate whatever you want.

A shared Mass will be celebrated for all mothers and grandmothers. Those listed can be your mother, someone else’s mother, a grandmother, someone who is soon to be a mother, someone who is hoping for a child, or a maternal figure in your life. Donate whatever you want.
