We found that many of our students do not know what the Church teaches about Mary. The Catechism is clear about her role in our lives. We are fortunate to be surrounded by Western and Eastern art and icons that depict the life of Mary and the Holy Family. Try this PowerPoint to assist your students and parents in learning more about her. The Church's teachings and the meanings of the icons and paintings are in the notes section of each slide. Download it as a PowerPoint presentation. I have compiled a Word document with the notes. Feel free to adapt it to your use!
