The focus of the year two of the Diocesan Golden Jubilee is Mary. Bishop Michael F. Burbidge has invited the diocese to look at Mary and imitate her example.

A new diocesan video series, “Mary, Explained,” will explain the theology, traditions and devotions to Our Lady to help people understand what the church teaches about who she is.

A new video, featuring religious, priests and the laity, will be released monthly from May through November. The topics are:

Who is Mary?

Was she the mother of God?

Was she immaculately conceived?

Was she assumed into heaven?

Was she ever virgin?

Why do Catholics pray and have devotions to her?

How can we embrace her as our model disciple?
