The Monastery of the Transfiguration

Monastery of the Transfiguration Church : As residents in the area, we could fairly say that it is a sacred place, solemn and private.

We prefer to go to the Monastery of the Transfiguration Church to hear mass because of its incomparable solemnity. We could personally feel the presence of our Savior, feel the silence of the place and can also even feel the calmness of our mind and spirit. No doubt, the monks choose this location as their permanent residence.

Since 1995, Me and my wife, started to go to this place to hear mass every Sunday. Aside from its solemnity, it is also because of its green scenery, a personal touch of nature and the coolness of its climate.

It offers us with a well maintained "bermuda" grass landscape with ornamental plants in the surroundings.

They also have a unique architecturally formed pyramid type structure with perfectly designed cut pine ceiling panels, with rock altar suspected to be from a molten lava from an undisclosed erupted volcano in the area and a drift wood podium stand in front of the altar.

Every 2nd Sunday of the month, a regular community breakfast and lunch or most commonly known as "BRUNCH with the MONKS", will be served with an affordable rate, since the mass starts at exactly 8:00 a.m. and ends at 9:15 a.m. This would be a great deal for family outdoor event. Some wanting to get married, prefer this place as their wedding venue. Personal appointment with the in-charge is recommended for proper arrangement of wedding entourage.

If we have some extra of our graces, we give it as our "offering", with sincerity and humility.


For Visitors, this is your location guide:

You can reach this place by taking a ride on a "multicab" at almost 8 kilometers from the Poblacion proper of Malaybalay City or at about 15 minutes ride from the Provincial Capitol Ground.

The pyramid type structure is a world renowned structure today because of the Facebook, and other social media where a picture taking, once you are in the place, is a must for a life time worth souvenir and of course one of unique experiences in our life.
