Hello,

I was just Baptized on Easter Vigil, and I asked my priest to enroll me in the Scapular Confraternity. I’m so happy to be Baptized :D!

So anyways, my school requires students to take off all jewelry/ necklaces during Physical Education, but since I have to wear the scapular constantly, should I just leave it inside my shirt or take it off?

Also, should I take it off when I shower? Because it gets wet and the beautiful picture of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel gets soggy and the scapular breaks very easily.

Thanks and God bless :)!

The cloth Brown Scapular is worn under our clothes and need not be taken off for PE.

You may take it off when you shower if you wish to.

God bless you!
 
In my experience the concern is about strangulation, and so is more pertinent to, say, medals than the scapular, which is unlikely to do that kind of damage.

Some scapulars hold up better in the shower than others. If you have one of the “others,” it’s certainly reverent to take it off to avoid water damage.
 
Hmmm… Come to think of it, I sweat in PE, and that may damage the scapular just the same as a shower might. Oh well, it’s a good think I bought several of them just in case 🙂

So I shouldn’t take it off for PE?

Thanks and God bless!
