For almost three decades ago, atop a captivating hill at the heart of Victoria Homes Subdivision, in the southernmost part of Tunasan, Muntinlupa, a cathedral type Church was beginning to Rise.

The said Church now known as L’Annunziata Parish was named by the late Italia priest, Rev. Fr. Guido Coletti, OSJ after “The Annunciation oto Mary.” It was September 1981 when the hallmark of Victoria Homes, specifically at Jade Heights, that the construction of the Church started. There were only few families in the subdivision that time. It has been the cherished desire of the Congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph to dedicate a Church in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Out of this dream, L’Annunziata Church was born. The building was made possible through the help of the Congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph, and the parioshers of Santuario de San Jose, Greenhills, where Fr. Guido was the Parish Priest, and through the generosity of his close friends.

Imploring the aid of the Divine Providence, the construction of the “Cathedral of the South” by word of mouth of the pasersby, lasted for only three years. From then on, the Church became a popular wedding church, a solemn place for prater and venue for liturgical functions where one can feel God’s presence.

In 1984, the vicar forane of Muntinlupa, Very Rev. Tom Gonzales, expressed to Rev. Fr. Napoleon Jinon, OSJ, the priest-in-charge of the church, the desire of the Archdiocese of Manila to create the community of Victoria Homes Subdivision as a parish. On December 15, 1984, during his audience with His Eminence Jaime Cardinal Sin, Rev. Fr. Constantino Conti, OSJ, accepted on behalf of the Congregation the offer of creating L’Annunziata as a Parish.

On December 27, the Decree of establishment of the New Parish was signed by the late cardinal.

Fr. Napoleon was nominated and installed as the first Parish Priest of L’Annunziata Parish on January 7, 1985.

Since then, the Congregation has been assigning priests and brothers to serve vigorously and untiringly the interests of Jesus.
