The Kamay ni Hesus Healing Church, also known as the Healing Church of the Risen Christ and commonly known as the Kamay ni Hesus Shrine, is a Roman Catholic church and tourist destination found along the Lucban-Tayabas Road in barangay Tinamnan, Lucban, Quezon province, Philippines under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lucena.[3][4][2]
The construction of the shrine and the surrounding complex commenced in February 2002 and was built through donations and an inheritance received by its founder.[3][5] The shrine was temporarily closed in 2020 and 2021 due to travel restrictions in connection to community quarantine measures but was reopened in 2022.[6][7]
The shrine has a healing chapel where masses are conducted.[8] The chapel has a capacity of 1,000 people but has encountered instances where overcrowding occurs.[9] A building dubbed as the "healing dome", subsequently named as the Healing Church of the Risen Christ, was completed in November 2022.[10][11] Near the church and chapel is a hill containing scenes depicting the way of the Cross and a statue depicting the ascensionofJesus.[5][12][13] The shrine also has an outdoor museum containing replicas of Biblical events and characters.[5]
The church can accommodate only 1,000 but more than 5,000 devotees show up, spilling over the areas beside, behind and in front of the church.
"We are now building a Healing Dome," said Fr. Joey.
