A catechism on Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is essential for deepening understanding of her role in salvation history and her significance in the life of every believer. As the Mother of God, Mary holds a unique place in the Church, and a structured catechism helps explain her virtues, her Immaculate Conception, and her role as intercessor and model of faith.
Teaching about Mary through catechism ensures that children and adults alike grasp the biblical and theological foundations of Marian devotion. It helps believers understand why the Church honors her and how her obedience to God serves as a model for all Christians.
