The main priority of the Society is catechetical work in the parishes. Every evening all the Society's Centres are open for the catechetical formation of children and youths and occasionally adults as well. All Members are expected to participate in this activity after their normal day's work. After their catechetical classes, the Members participate in a daily one-hour session for their own on going formation in Church doctrine and related studies, pedagogical training and communal prayer. Such activities take place on all days of the week including Saturdays and Sundays. Every Wednesday a general meeting of all Members of the Society resident in Malta takes place in the Society's Mother House. Additional activities are organised especially for the children to include recreational and related activities. The Society also organises specialised courses for its basis on a national scale.

Other Activites

The Society's work involves various other activities related to its aims as specified in the Rule. Among these activities the following should be noted:

Catechetical work among adults: Though most of the catechetical activity is directed towards children, in particular to prepare them to receive the sacraments, the Society organises on a regular basis similar activities for adults. These are normally held on a parish basis and generally consist of a weekly or two-week course on some aspect of Catholic doctrine. In addition regular meetings for parents of children attending our Centres are held as well.

Book publishing and selling: The Society has always published works of a religious nature in the Maltese language due to the lack of suitable literature of this kind. The Society has its own printing press [Veritas Press] which also specialises in the printing of religious works. The Society has been in the forefront to encourage the use of the Bible and from the very beginning the Members were encouraged to read the Bible regularly, whether individually or communally. The Society encouraged the publication of a Maltese version of the Bible which did not exist at the time of the beginning of the Society. The Society gave its encouragement to the late biblical scholar, Mgr Prof PP Saydon [1895-1971] in translating the Bible completely from the original language into Maltese. In recognition of the assistance given, Prof Saydon left the copyright of the translation to the Society. Since his death, the Society has printed a number of versions of this Bible which include both a fine library edition and a pocket size edition for more general use.
