Mary
Coverage of Catholic devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and a central figure in the life of the Church. This collection includes news, features, and reflections on Marian feasts, devotions, pilgrimages, apparitions, and other expressions of Marian faith and tradition.
Catholic teaching includes four Marian dogmas: Mary’s divine motherhood as the Mother of God, her perpetual virginity, the Immaculate Conception, and the Assumption. The Church also honors Mary as Mother of the Church. Marian devotion is Christ-centered, intended to lead the faithful into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
