A perfect place to worship and find your inner place.
A trip to Lucban may not be completed without dropping by to the well known pilgrim site, the Kamay Ni Hesus (Hand of Jesus). Whether you are a religious person or not, Kamay Ni Hesus is indeed a great destination you should not miss!
Kamay ni Hesus Shrine and Healing Center was constructed in February 2002 with the help of Quezonians and other Filipino Donors from various communities in the United States. With the help of some local donors, Father Joey Faller even shared the money he inherited from the family heirloom to financially sustain the construction of the Healing Center.
The Kamay ni Hesus Shrine at Lucban in Quezon is a sought-after pilgrimage destination known for its miraculous healing masses and the steep hill that leads to a majestic Risen Christ statue. Given the Philippines’ rich Catholic culture, it is no surprise that thousands of devotees flock here, especially every Holy Week to repent, reflect, and give thanks.
Filipinos from all parts of the country go to Kamay ni Hesus Shrine to attend the healing mass presided by Rev. Fr. Joey Faller. His vision to establish a healing center sprouted from a personal tragedy he had, which, instead of disheartening him, encouraged him to treat people who are sick and spiritually weak. Kamay ni Hesus Healing Church regularly holds healing masses every Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:30 AM.
Walk uphill and pray at the Stations of the Cross
Statue of the Ascending Christ
There are over 300 steps on the way to the peak of the hill and you can reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ along the way. During the Lenten Season, a lot of devotees follow the trail of life-size sculptures of the 14 Stations of the Cross in hopes that their prayers will be granted. The journey to the top of the hill, however challenging, is also inspiring whenever you look up and see the 50-foot Risen Christ statue—his hands spread out, seemingly encouraging you to go on until you reach the top.
Noah's Ark and Sea of Galilee
If things are beyond of our control, the Good Lord will not forsake you. Just remain faithful, humble and steadfast.
