I could not find in the Catechism where it says that none come to Jesus except through Mary. Rather, the Catechism teaches that it is only through the Holy Spirit that we can come to Jesus. Paragraph 2670 states: “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit. Every time we begin to pray to Jesus it is the Holy Spirit who draws us on the way of prayer by his prevenient grace.” Paragraph 2672 further states: “To be sure, there are as many paths of prayer as there are persons who pray, but it is the same Spirit acting in all and with all. It is in the communion of the Holy Spirit that Christian prayer is prayer in the Church.”

And no one comes to Jesus but that the Father calls him.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

But Catholics replace the Father with Mary.
