INTRODUCTION to "Church at the Source: Mary in the Catholic Tradition"
In our series on Mary, we will explore why the person of Mary is essential to the mystery of Christ and the goodness of creation. Students will come away from the class with a deepened sense of the Church's teaching on Mary, who Mary herself is as a person, and why she is so essential to the Catholic faith.

Session Titles:

Session #2: Mary & Faith—Our second class will follow the wisdom of the Second Vatican Council and St. John Paul II, who remind the faithful that the core of Mary’s personality and her role in the Church is her faith.
Session #3: Mary & The Church—In our third class, we will explore the intimate relationship and unity between Mary and the Church, and show how their unity ensures an authentic understanding of Mariology as well as an authentic understanding of the Church.
Session #4: Mary & Mediation—In our fourth and final class, we will learn more about Mary’s mediating role in redemption, how it informs the truth of our role in redemption, and discern what is authentic Marian devotion.
