Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Feast day: July 16

This Feast commemorates the favors granted by our Lady on Mount Carmel. The Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Simon Stock, General of the Order of Carmelites, holding in her hand the form of a scapular, and directed him to institute a pious confraternity, the members of which should consecrate themselves to her service, and wear her livery. She promised that "those who die wearing it, will not suffer hell fire."
