SUMMARY
There is a Roman Catholic practice called Total Consecration to the Immaculate.
These three things are part of the practice.
1. We promise to become dependent on Mary in all things.
2. To offer all our prayers and oblations to God through Mary.
3. To seek every gift from God through Mary.
----------------------------
THE DETAILS WITH EVIDENCE
I came across a Roman Catholic term/practice today while doing research.
It involves offering up all prayers to God through Mary.
Not through Jesus, but through Mary.
I saw the term while reading about Pope Francis's visit to a religious community.

What is Total Consecration to the Immaculate all about?
Don't worry, I didn't go to anti-Catholic sites to find sources.
Sometimes they can over spin rhetoric and make things look super scary.
Here is a description from an actual Roman Catholic related site.
CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
Roman Catholics on this forum tend to downplay the whole praying to Mary thing.
They portray it as if you're just giving Mary some of your prayer requests, so she can pray for you. You know, just like when you call Mrs. Snodgrass for prayer in your church's prayer chain.
As you can see, Total Consecration To The Immaculate takes it further than Mary being your heavenly prayer partner version of Mrs. Snodgrass.

"Total Consecration to the Immaculate"
The Franciscans sang the Ave Maria of Fatima and in the hands of the Pope renewed their vow of Total Consecration to the Immaculate.

By our consecration we promise to become dependent on Mary in all things: to offer all our prayers and oblations to God through Mary, and to seek every gift from God through Mary. And we do this with the greatest confidence. Since she is our mother, she knows our needs better than we; and since she is Queen of Heaven, she has immediate access to the infinite treasury of graces in the Kingdom of her Divine Son.

Rosary Confraternity of the Catholic Church, a world-wide movement of prayer for peace. We are administered by the Dominican Fathers, Fr. Reginald Martin, O.P., Director. We are located next to the Holy Rosary Church in Portland,Oregon, USA, the city of roses. Included is how to pray the rosary. Those who pray the Rosary regularly would do well to be enrolled in the Confraternity to gain extra spiritual benefits for each Rosary they pray.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis will consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Oct. 13 as part of the Marian Day celebration that will involve the iconic statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima.“The Holy Father strongly desires that the Marian Day may have present, as a special sign, one of the most significant Marian icons for Christians throughout the world, and, for that reason, we thought of the beloved original statue of Our Lady of Fatima,” wrote Cardinal Rino Fisichella.
