The Society of Christian Doctrine ( Latin: Societas Doctrinæ Christianæ, Italian: Società della Dottrina Cristiana, Maltese: Soċjetà Duttrina Nisranija; abbreviated SDC), [3] [4] better known as MUSEUM, is a society of Catholic lay volunteers, made of men and women, teaching catechism in the Christian faith formation of children and adults. [5] The society was established by George Preca in March 1907, in Malta. [6] It has eventually spread around the world, first among Maltese migrants in Australia, then in Albania, in North Sudan, and other countries. [7]
MUSEUM is the abbreviation for "Magister Utinam Sequatur Evangelium Universus Mundus" as meaning " Master, may the whole world follow the Gospel." [4] [7]
In Malta, the society has forty-six catechism centres for males and forty-three for females. [8]
By 1961, the society spread in Gozo, and became successful after a visit for a fishing session. That same year catechism started for males, and in 1962 it was followed by the female branch. [9] There are now[ when?] nine catechism centres for males and seven for females in Gozo. [8]
The objectives of the religious society is catechetical work in the parishes. [8] Members may participate in the activities in six days every week. [8] The society often organises recreational activities for minors and educational courses for adults. [8] [10]
Members of the society are invited to participate for a meeting every Wednesday at the mother-house of the society, in Blata l-Bajda, Marsa. [8] The mother-house is the prominent Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. [6] The main scope for teaching catechism is to religiously prepare individuals, generally minors, to receive the sacraments according to the Roman Catholic tradition. [8]
