The Catholic Church's teaching on mariology emphasizes the unique role of Mary as the Mother of Jesus and her special place in the life of the Church.

A Catholic answer (Catholics in union with the Pope)Catholics believe that God alone is to be worshipped as the Creator and Father of All. In Sacred Scripture, Mary referred to herself "the maidservant of the Lord" and "the lowly one whom the Lord has lifted up." Because of her humility and devotion to God, Catholics love and admire Mary, and seek to imitate her virtues. Because of her closeness to the Lord Jesus, we especially ask her intercession - that is, ask her to pray to God for us. We venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary above all the other saints, always aware that she is a creature of God, like ourselves. It is Mother Mary who says to us, "Do whatever He tells you."

God Himself did not have any parents. Since He has always existed (and is a spirit rather than a human anyways), He does not have parents. Now, as for Jesus (being God as a human), His earthly mother, as many know, was Mary.
