Speaking of Vatican, i.e. Roman Catholic Church, Mary is Blessed, not
Saint. Her title is Beata Virgo Maria (Beata Vergine Maria in Italian,
Blessed Virgin Mary in English). She is an unordinary Blessed, as she and
her feasts are more important than those of the Saints; anyway, "Saint
Mary" is nothing but a popular name :-)
