As you can see from this link, prayers referring to the Virgin Mary are optional in the mass.
It is encouraging to hear you attend masses with prayers to her included. Does your parish offer rosaries? Also does it ever include the Popes Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel (defend us in Armageddon)?

Other than the special (”Proper”) Mass prayers on Marian feasts, the Confiteor is the only Mass prayer that mentions Mary, and it is optional. Sometimes the priests makes do with just the Kyrie in the Penitential Rite, but most of the time my parish priests use it.

We have a Parish-sponsored Rosary Makers’ Guild and a Perpetual Adoration Society, both of which sponsor rosary recitation. The next one will be this Sunday, when we will also have an afternoon Divine Mercy observance.

What I WISH we had, is a Latin Schola. Our assistant Pastor is interested, so I should send him another e-mail and ask him if we can get a move on!
