Summary/Abstract: The teaching of Second Vatican Council clearly emphasised that theology and the life of the Church are in need of constant reference to Mary. This need is especially manifested in the name typus Ecclesiae applied to Mary, which was already used by the Church Fathers. This article attempts to apply this name to the evangelisation in the Church, in order to make it Marian in character as well. It seems that the notion of „the type of evangelisation” can be applied to Mary, since in Her faith and in the key attitudes resulting from it we can find such elements which allow us to shape evangelisation according to a strictly defined structure. Therefore, it is justified to say that the evangelisation in the Church should be conducted according to Marian structure.
