BTW, I don't recall getting a scapular at my first Communion in 1967. Wow. When I look at that date, I feel OLD.

Before my time....

Seriously, I did get one at first Communion and no one told us how to wear it or why we do. I think that first one got lost. It might be in my mother's drawer somewhere. The Rosary was always more emphasized to us.

Our teachers made a big deal out of it. Possibly because they were "brown" Franciscans .We had a service where it was placed over our heads by the sister and a prayer (maybe the Hail Mary ??) was said. We were "enrolled and given a certificate indicating such.
