This is what it says--- Member of confraternity of Scapularies & (Social Sodality) in the Parish of St. Catherine in Granville in the year 1870. Back then members would make cloth scapularies (two small pieces of woolen cloth, joined by strings and worn around the neck as a badge of affiliation with a religious order, a token of devotion such as the picture of the Virgin or the Sacred Heart or other holy person for young boys and girls, men or women to wear around their necks). Just before leaving Tampa our Prayer Group gave about 150 of these hand-made items to anyone interested. The Social Sodality would be an organization of women who would meet for prayers, social activities such as a luncheon more likely a dinner, and at the end of the year would give awards to officers and leaders. The language used is Italian.
Thank you to everyone that helped.
