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]
