How did the Virgin Mary influence the Church?
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the highest regarded created being in the Church because she is the mother of Jesus Christ.

To all Christians, the Blessed Virgin Mary represents purity, divinity, and selflessness. She is particularly a figure of example among women as having been a blessed and loving mother.Roman Catholic AnswerMary has from the beginning, and most especially since Jesus, from the Cross, gave her to all of us as our mother, in the apostle, John; has always been our mother and the mother of the Church. Her whole life, right through her recent apparitions at Lourdes and Fatima, has been one continuous pointing to her son, "Do whatever He tells you" (John 2:5b) 773 [The Church's] structure is totally ordered to the holiness of Christ's members. And holiness is measured according to the 'great mystery' in which the Bride responds with the gift of love to the gift of the Bridegroom. (John Paul Mulieris dignitatem 27) The Blessed Virgin goes before us all in the holiness that is the Church's mystery as "the bride without spot or wrinkle." (Cf. (John Paul Mulieris dignitatem 27)829 "But while in the most Blessed Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle, the faithful still strive to conquer sin and increase in holiness. And so they turn their eyes to Mary": (Lumen Gentium 65; cf. Eph 5:26-27) in her, the Church is already the "all-holy".Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church963 Since the Virgin Mary's role in the mystery of Christ and the Spirit has been treated, it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the Church. "The Virgin Mary ... is acknowledge and honored as being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer. . . . She is 'clearly the mother of the members of Christ' . . . since she has by her charity joined in bringing about the birth of believers in the Church, who are members of its head." (Lumen Gentium 53; cf. St. Augustine, De virg. 6 J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Graeca {Paris, 1841-1855} 40, 399) "Mary, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church." (Paul VI, Discourse, November 21, 1964)　from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
