Our vibrant community has a special connection to diverse groups of immigrants, past, present, and future. Transfiguration Church is a center of the life of the community of NYCÂ’s Chinatown, Little Italy and the Lower East Side . On November 1, 1950 (All Saints Day), Pope Pius XII declared as a dogma revealed by God. The most important goal of the dogma was to remind people to affirm the value human life. Because at the end of the WWII, political, social and economic uncertainties, communism and atheism brought upon anxiety, many people had lost faith and hope. In response to the situation, the Church hoped to reinvigorate and encourage believers by honoring Mary because her peace and love symbolize the enduring faith and hope that Jesus has brought to men. The Procession will end at Transfiguration with Benediction and Eucharistic Adoration. |
