St. George Preca
Also known as Dun Ġorġ, Father George Preca, or the Second Father of Malta.
St. George Preca was the first Maltese saint and founder of the Society of Christian Doctrine, known by its Maltese acronym M.U.S.E.U.M., a society of laymen and laywomen dedicated to teaching the catechism.
For sixty years he formed catechists and taught the Catholic faith to Maltese youth in plain Maltese language at a time when most religious instruction was in Italian. Pope John Paul II called him the 'Second Father of Malta,' after St. Paul who first brought Christianity to the island.

Testimonials
We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
