May the Face of Jesus Shine in the Church Throughout the World

From the preface of the Feast of the Transfiguration

"He revealed his glory to the disciples to strengthen them for the scandal of the cross. His glory shone from a body like our own, to show that the Church, which is the body of Christ, would one day share his glory".


The feast of the Transfiguration each year is a special day of celebration and prayer in Manoppello and at the Shrine of the Holy Face.
