 Iconography

 

On October 27,2002, Cardinal Egan visited Transfiguration to celebrate the 1 p.m. Mass in honor of the anniversary.  He blessed the church’s newly rebuilt and refurbished pipe organ, dedicated to those who died Sept. 11, 2002, and he dedicated a statue of Cuban-born Father Felix Varela, founder of the parish.  The bronze statue, to be mounted on the wall between the church and parish school, was donated by the U.S. Cuban community and the Father Felix Varela Foundation.
