There is growing interest in reverence and devotion to Mary both in the Catholic faith and other religious traditions. How can one explain Mary's role in the Church and in our spiritual life in the 21st century?

This certificate program presents five e-courses offering you various viewpoints for understanding who Mary is to us today. You are given an opportunity to deepen your biblical, doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual faith perspectives for nurturing a stronger reverence for Mary and preparing you for religious dialogue with others.
