The Man in Blue You may occasionally spot Fr Trevor wearing what looks like a blue tabard. Is he ‘moonlighting’ as a school dinners attendant or a domestic cleaner?
The Sodality is a dispersed community of Anglo-Catholic priests living under a common Rule. As Our Lady is their patron, the scapular is in her traditional colour - blue. The design deliberately resembles that of the scapular worn by trainee monks and priests at Kelham, a Monastic Theological College near Newark that closed in 1973. As the Sodality is growing rapidly, with members around the world, you may well see other clergy similarly attired.

Actuall
y, the garment concerned is called a Scapular. It’s sometimes worn by clergy to protect the cassock, but it’s also often worn as part of a monastic ‘habit’. In this case, it denotes that Fr Trevor is a member of the Sodality of Mary Mother of Priests – Sodalitas Mariae Matris Sacerdotum - SMMS for short.
