The Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus (HFJ), formerly known as the Holy Face of Jesus Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, was founded by Rev. Mother Mary Therese L. Vicente, HFJ (1921-1995) in Quiapo, Manila on October 1, 1986.
The inspiration that led to its foundation began when a replica of the Holy Shroud from Turin, Italy, was exhibited at the Manila Cathedral in August 1976 and Mo. Mary Therese, then a member of the Daughters of Mary Mother of the Church congregation, was given the task to be the Exhibit’s custodian.
Mo. Therese's strong desire to do the will of God and to lead people to Him was consistently manifested in her acts of piety and maternal concern for all peoples. Her openness to the various devotions that came her way was for her opportunity to lead people to God. That is why, when she encountered the Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus and observed the effect of this devotion on the others’ lives; she eventually deepened her involvement in it. After passing periods of discernment and obtaining blessings from Church authorities, she established a Center for the Holy Face of Jesus so that people can still visit and venerate the Holy Face even after the Exhibit. Her dedication to devotion and to the mission led her to officially leave the Daughters of Mary and found the Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus.
As fruits of this devotion, lay religious organizations were also established: the Crusaders of the Holy Face of Jesus (CHFJ) in 1977, and then the Young Apostles of the Holy Face of Jesus (YAHFJ) and the Little Friends of the Holy Face of Jesus (LFHFJ) in 1990 and 1994, respectively.
Withstanding the various crises which accompanied the foundation of the sisters and in pursuing its stability, the Congregation continued their services in the Archdiocese of Manila and its mission expanded to other places in the Philippines as well. Relying primarily on God's Providence, the mission continues even after the death of the foundress on June 7, 1995.
