The University of Dayton, in Dayton, Ohio has an amazing Marian Library. On their website, there is an article that sheds light on this subject.
I find it to be most informative. They have shared much information regarding the Catholic Church's thought behind Mother Mary and September 8th, as her celebrated birthday.
"The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary"
Her nativity is considered to be the "DAWN OF OUR SALVATION"
Per Pope Paul VI in 1972.
It is believed that the New Year began in Constantinople on the 1st of September. "Beginning" is the chosen word here and her Nativity is a
"New LIGHT, the Glimmer" a new beginning for us.
What she brings, is yet to come to us through her
"YES"
Her gift is the New LIFE, the New Beginning, the new Light to the world,
her precious child, Jesus Christ.
I hope you you visit the site I have posted below and enjoy it as much as I did.

The Catholic Church has been celebrating The Birth of Mary on
September 8th since the Sixth Century...
It all started on December 8th which is nine months prior to September 8th...
"JUST BECAUSE"
Most children are carried in the womb of their mother
for nine months before birth, or their Nativity...
The Catholic Church felt that this was proper
for the Mother of Christ as well...

"The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th centers on the belief that Jesus' mother, the Virgin Mary, was conceived without sin. Pope Pius IX issued an apostolic constitution, known as the Ineffabilis Deus, on December 8, 1854."
