TODAY, the 19th of March 1998,
    Feast of Saint Joseph,
    Guardian of the Redeemer,
    Protector and Defender of the Holy Family
    and of God's Universal Family, the Church,
    In the year dedicated to the Holy Spirit,
    and the Centennial of the Philippine Republic,
    a nation whose families are loved by God,
    the home of the SIMBAHAYAN SA MAYNILA on the internet
    is hereby Christened.

    INVOKING the intercession
    of the Holy Family of Nazareth,
    by the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life,
    we pray that the Lord's blessings may be obtained by all
    who visit and seek Christian family wisdom from
    the Simbahayan sa Maynila website.
    May it bear fruit in bright and cheerful families
    who live as one in the Lord, proclaim His Word
    and render loving service to God and neighbor.

    MAY GOD who enkindles the fire in every Filipino heart
    grant every kind visitor a warm welcome
    into His Eternal Home, forever and ever. Amen.
