There are many reasons why Mary the Mother of Jesus is so important to Catholics.
One of these reasons is because of the Annunciation of Jesus Christ. The Angel Gabriel came down from heaven and told her that she was to bear a son. Mary, at the time was only 15 or 16 years old at the time. Also, she had no husband at the time. As was custom in Galilee at the time if Mary had a son without any husband, by the Law of Moses, the men were to stone her to death. But Mary said,
" Let it be done to me as you say it is"
