Here's a great video reviewing what Catholics do and do not believe about Mary.

It may be difficult for your child to understand.

Review

Honoring Mary: the "First Disciple"

In this session, we review what we know and love about Mary, the Mother of God:
  • Mary was Jesus' mother, but is our mother, too.
  • The Holy Spirit gave Mary courage and made her strong.
  • All our prayers to Mary lead us to Jesus.
