Saint George Preca (in Maltese: Ġorġ Preca) (†1962) was a Maltese Catholic priest and a Third Order Carmelite who was the founder of the Society of Christian Doctrine. He is known as "Dun Ġorġ" in Maltese and Pope John Paul II dubbed him "Malta’s second father in faith". He assumed the religious name of "Franco" after becoming a Third Order Carmelite and his pastoral care and religious teaching earned recognition. However, his activities raised suspicions of heresy from senior clergy. His activism earned him praise, and in 1952, Pope Pius XII nominated him as a Papal Privy Chamberlain and awarded him the rank of Monsignor. In 1957 he composed five new mysteries for the Rosary for his followers which he had referred to as the "Mysteries of Light". He was beatified in 2001 by Pope John Paul II and canonized on 3 June 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI.
