Sacred Heart Dog Tag and American Flag Cross
Sacred Heart Dog Tag and American Flag Cross - Powerful expression of the undying love of the Sacred Heart and love for our great nation.
Scapular Medal
This Sacred Heart Dog Tag is a form of a "Scapular Medal," as it meets the requirements set by St. Pope Pius X. In 1910, Pope St. Pius X declared a Scapular Medal may be substituted in most cases for any of the various scapulars. The condition for this substitution is that the medal have an image of Our Most Holy Redeemer, Jesus Christ, showing His Sacred Heart, and the obverse that of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Valid enrollment in the (cloth) scapular must, however, be made before the substitution. For this reason, we include a traditional brown cloth scapular to use for investiture, along with a "Brown Scapular Blessing". Upon receiving your Scapular Medal, please remember to have it blessed by a priest who has the faculty to bless and invest the scapular.

Other Information:
“Dog tag” is an informal term for the identification tags worn by military personnel, because of their resemblance to animal registration tags. The tags are primarily used for the identification of dead and wounded soldiers. In a sense, the Scapular Medal is our “Catholic Dog Tag.” The Brown Scapular, revealed to St. Simon Stock in 1251, was a visible way for us, upon our death, to be identified as a child of God. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel said, “This will be the sign of the privilege that I have obtained for thee and for the children of Carmel; whoever dies clothed with this habit will be preserved from the eternal flames.” According to Father John Hardon’s Catholic Dictionary, the scapular medal may be worn for any reason, even for reasons of convenience. The scapular medal has all the same indulgences that are associated with the cloth scapular. There are numerous stories of miracles associated with devout use of the Brown Scapular (and Scapular Medal). The Brown Scapular (and Scapular Medal) is a powerful weapon against Satan and can help us along the road to holiness.
