“Basics of  Mariology”

January 17, 2018

7:00pm in the Community Room

​

This year, 2018, at St. Patrick’s Church we are celebrating a Marian Year.  

We are dedicating this year to our Spiritual Mother; Jesus’ Mother, Mary.  Come join your fellow parishioners and learn more about the Mother of God.  We will discuss four topics: Mary’s role in Salvation History, Marian Dogmas, Marian Apparitions and Marian Devotions.  

​

Mary’s role in Salvation History will be a significant portion of our discussion. We will cover typology from the Old Testament, Genesis 3:15, prophesies from the Old Testament, Mary as the new Eve, and the Annunciation.   

 

We will define and explain what dogmas are and then give a brief overview of each of the four Marian dogmas. 

 

For the Apparitions, we will review the three major Apparitions: Guadalupe, Lourdes and Fátima. We will also discuss other Apparitions, especially the one in the U.S. in Champion, Wisconsin. Stay tuned for more details regarding a Pilgrimage we hope to make in June!

 

Finally, we will chat about Marian devotions, including the rosary, the miraculous medal, Marian prayers, the Servite rosary, and Consecration to Mary. 

​

Join us as we begin our Year of Mary!
