CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD

BUKIDNON, BukidWOW! #1 































CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD, at the Monastery of the Transfiguration, Bgy. San Jose, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.


The Monastery was founded by Fr. Abbot Eduardo Africa, OSB and is run by the Benedictine Monks. Opened in 1885 by Spanish Benedictine monks for missionary work, but the mission was aborted when the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine-American War broke out. 



It was re-established by the abbey, and the Monastery of the Transfiguration was inaugurated in 
1986.
