Transfiguration Roman Catholic Church is located on West Main Street in the town of Monongahela, Pennsylvania. The parish was originally founded in the 1800s, the first church being built in 1865. A new church building, the present one, was constructed in 1906. The church was designed by architect John Comes. It is constructed of red brick with two towers, one taller than the other. These towers originally had tall steeples on them, which were removed in 1954 after being struck by lightning.

In 2014, Transfiguration Church was combined with nearby Saint Anthony Church to form Saint Damien of Molokai Parish. Then, in 2019, it was combined with a number of other churches in the mid-Monongahela valley towns of Donora and Charleroi to form Saint Andrew the Apostle Parish. Transfiguration Church is one of the main sites in the parish where Masses are celebrated.
