Our Lady, Immaculate Conception
The title 'Our Lady, Immaculate Conception' refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her existence by a unique grace from God. This doctrine has been officially defined by the Catholic Church as dogma. Mary was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior. The Immaculate Conception highlights her singular holiness and preparation for this role.
