The Society was founded by Father George Preca (1880 - 1962) in Malta in 1907. Saint George Preca based the foundation of the group on the words of St Paul to Timothy:
"Take the teachings that you heard me proclaim in the presence of many witnesses, and entrust them to reliable people, who will be able to teach others also."
2 Tim 2:2

Father Preca in the early 1900s aware of the urgent need in spreading the Word of God formed a group of very loyal followers and stressed on them adherence to the qualities of forgiveness and humility.

This early group evolved into a dynamic Society of lay catechists of men and women who today share in spreading the message of Jesus Christ.
