Ghajnsielem.com was launched in July 2002 and aims to keep the emigrants and local citizens up-to-date with what's happening in our village. It offers a comprehensive list of informative articles featuring everything you need to know about the village of Ghajnsielem. The website is run on a non-profit basis by a team of volunteers who have Ghajnsielem in their heart.

The idea of having a website dedicated solely to our village started on March 2002 when Joseph Sultana, Kevin Cauchi and Anthony Scicluna decided to launch Ghajnsielem.com. Ghajnsielem.com was born three months later, on the 1st July 2002. The website virtually offers information, resources and news coverage related with Ghajnsielem.

Ghajnsielem.com was proudly the first website in Gozo to transmit an event live on the internet. In fact it was only two months after its launch that Ghajnsielem.com transmitted the Feast of Our Lady of Loreto live on the Internet. On December 2002 Ghajnsielem.com had a record of three webcams transmitting live video images from the Christmas Village and the same number of webcams were available for 2004's feast. Meanwhile, while Anthony Scicluna left the team to focus on his studies, Joseph and Kevin continued to focus on their dream of putting all the village's organizations, history and culture online.

Another milestone was reached when Loreto Scicluna launched the Ghajnsielem F.C. section with daily news update, video replays, match report and a state-of-the-art database highlighting the club's illustrious history. A few months later, the St Joseph Band Club, the Local Council and the Boys Museum Society also decided to host their website in Ghajnsielem.com thus turning this website into a web-portal or a one-stop site for everything associated with our village. In fact, it is the only website in Malta and Gozo that managed to keep all the organizations represented together under “one roof”. In other words, www.ghajnsielem.com is the only address that our emigrants need to remember in mind!

For the 2008, Ghajnsielem.com started to provide video content to enhance its news articles. On the same year, Ghajnsielem.com has also printed a set of t-shirts with the website's logo and featuring the words 'Viva x-Xemx' for the feast of 'Our Lady of Loreto'. The t-shirts proved to be very popular among the Ghajnselmizi proving that Ghajnsielem.com has become a popular brand among locals. On the same year, Ghajnsielem.com launched the Biography section dedicated to the people who have 'left their mark' in Ghajnsielem. The section was called HALL OF FAME and is constantly updated with new information.

Today, Ghajnsielem.com is more regarded as a web-portal than a website. A portal is a website that is used as a starting point or a gateway linking similar resources together. In fact, Ghajnsielem.com is a one-stop site for everything you need about Ghajnsielem.
 




The first presence of Ghajnsielem on the Internet started  back in 1999 when
Kevin Cauchi launched his own personal website dedicated to Ghajnsielem
It was hosted on Gozo.com (http://www.gozo.com/ghajnsielem).
The site was closed two years later (2001).




The Ghajnsielem Parish's presence on the Internet started in mid-2000
when Gozodirect offered to dedicated a section from its Gozo Portal Website to Ghajnsielem. The site used to be regularly updated by Joseph Sultana.

 



The first website logo. 'Ob fontem prosperitas' motto was later dropped.
The new website slogan is 'One Village. One Website'
This slogan was inspired by Italo Cauchi on August 2007
