The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
[[Image:ChurchExterior.jpg|right|thumb|Parish of the Holy Sacrifice]]
==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center] and the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service].

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''. While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
[[Image:Holy_sacrifice_exterior.jpg||right|thumb|Parish of the Holy Sacrifice]]'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

[[Image:MarbleAltar.jpg||right|thumb| ]]
Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children. 
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
'''2.Garden of Love and Friendship''': features a labyrinth of stone surrounded by four monoliths – two upright monoliths at the entrance, two monoliths leaning towards each other. These monoliths represent friendship and romance respectively. There is a monolith in the middle which represents many things but perhaps its most important meaning is that this rock of existence symbolizes that we go through life alone. The labyrinth is the journey through life and it serves as a reminder that one must take care of the gift of life that God gave. 
'''3.Garden of the Family''': features five rocks which represent the family, and a pool which represents life. 
'''4.Garden of Religions''': features three rocks close to one another which represent the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism. 
'''5.Garden of Justice and Peace''': features the tree nursery of the Church. It will also feature a bronze monument of the three martyr-priests – Fr. Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora as a tribute. These are to be sculpted by Tito Sanchez 
'''6.Garden of Mother and Healing''': features the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, which stands for motherland and nurturance. 
'''7.Garden of Eternal Life''': features three rock monoliths. They represent resurrection and eternal life after death.

==History==
====Earlier years (Pre-construction of church)====
In '''1947''', when the University of the Philippines was still in Padre Faura, Manila, a group of Protestant students started a movement named Christian Youth Movement (CYM) which aims to ''“make relevant Christian presence in the university campus”''. They sought help from the '''Philippine Federation of Christian Churches (PFCC)''', now the [http://www.nccphilippines.org/ '''National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP)'''].
 
When the Diliman campus became the main campus of UP in '''1949''', the UPCYM also transferred to Diliman. With the new university setting, they stayed at a ''sawali'' chapel – a chapel made of bamboo and nipa - and shared it with two other religious groups, namely the [http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7876/upscaabout.html ''UP Student Catholic Action (UPSCA)'' and the ''Iglesia Filipina Independencia''].
 
Eventually, these three religious groups started to have conflicts among their schedules, like for the Protestant worship services and the Catholic masses. Also, each group started to receive more and more members, making the chapel too crowded to accommodate all of them. So in '''1952''', the UPCYM launched their own fund drive, for them to be able to build their own Protestant chapel and student center inside the campus. March 16 of that year, they held a concert at the Central Church, Manila, with Ramon Tapales and Flora Zarco-Rivera of the UP Conservatory of Music and Luz Morales of the Centro Escolar University as conductors.
 
In '''1953''', [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesar_Cancio Cesar Cancio] and his architectural firm presented proposed blueprints for the Church and the student center to the NCCP and the UP Regent of Boards. The following year,'''1954''', the Church of the Risen Lord and the Student Center was built. Its groundbreaking ceremonies were held on February 7 of that year.
====After grounbreaking ceremonies====

- First CRL constitution drafted 
- Christian Women's Fellowship (now Christian Women's Guild) organized

==Architectural structure==
[[Image:Golden-anniv-04.jpg|right|thumb| ]][[Image:2318991199 b84d073cba.jpg|right|thumb| ]]
The Church of the Risen Lord was designed to have an exterior shape similar to a parabola. This kind of architectural design symbolizes the belief that there are imperfections outside the Christian world and all of our aspirations to be perfect are useless. A characteristic of a parabola is that it has no distinctive peak just like of a triangle and it has no one slope. As we go up the parabola, before we get to the highest peak, we can observe that we eventually go down.
 
Also, entering in the church represents the desire to partake the God’s Bread of Life, which symbolizes God’s spiritual being. As we continue to go to the chancel (similar to the altar of the Catholics but has no visual representations of holy beings) – the salvation despite the imperfections in the real world, we can observe that the width of the church is tapering and this represents the one true path/direction towards the chancel (the salvation).
 
Moreover, the seal of the UPCYM group can be seen as an ascending fire or can also be a descending dove. This symbolizes the spiritual connection between God and the human being. The fire is associated to the faith of the human to his creator and the dove represents the love of God for us.

==Other parts of the church==
The church is comprised of a main chapel (Church of the Risen Lord), a student center (Gumersindo Garcia Hall) and a child care center (Christian Child Care Center).
====Christian Child Care Center (CCCC)====
The Christian Child Care Center is a school that gives scholarships to children from needy families in university communities. It was originally named Nursery-Kindergarten School when it was started in 1961.
====Gumersindo Garcia Hall (GG Hall)====
The Gumersindo Garcia Hall (most commonly known as the GG Hall) is the student center of the CRL. It was named after Dr. Gumersindo Garcia, the UP Regent who persuaded the UP Administration and UP Regent of Board to allow the building of the Protestant chapel and student center. It was his through his efforts that the chapel and student center was allowed to be built in the university grounds.
 
When Dr. Garcia passed away in April 8, 1964, the student center was renamed Gumersindo Garcia Fellowship Center to dedicate his memory. Later, it was changed to its present name, Gumersindo Garcia Hall or GG Hall, as what is more commonly known to the community.

==Architectural structure==
The Church of the Risen Lord was designed to have an exterior shape similar to a parabola. This kind of architectural design symbolizes the belief that there are imperfections outside the Christian world and all of our aspirations to be perfect are useless. A characteristic of a parabola is that it has no distinctive peak just like of a triangle and it has no one slope. As we go up the parabola, before we get to the highest peak, we can observe that we eventually go down.
 
[[Image:Golden-anniv-04.jpg|right|thumb| ]]
Also, entering in the church represents the desire to partake the God’s Bread of Life, which symbolizes God’s spiritual being. As we continue to go to the chancel (similar to the altar of the Catholics but has no visual representations of holy beings) – the salvation despite the imperfections in the real world, we can observe that the width of the church is tapering and this represents the one true path/direction towards the chancel (the salvation).
 
[[Image:N112259730858_8063.jpg|right|thumb| ]]
Moreover, the seal of the UPCYM group can be seen as an ascending fire or can also be a descending dove. This symbolizes the spiritual connection between God and the human being. The fire is associated to the faith of the human to his creator and the dove represents the love of God for us.

==Other parts of the church==
The church is comprised of a main chapel (Church of the Risen Lord), a student center (Gumersindo Garcia Hall) and a child care center (Christian Child Care Center).
====Christian Child Care Center (CCCC)====
The Christian Child Care Center is a school that gives scholarships to children from needy families in university communities. It was originally named Nursery-Kindergarten School when it was started in 1961.
====Gumersindo Garcia Hall (GG Hall)====
The Gumersindo Garcia Hall (most commonly known as the GG Hall) is the student center of the CRL. It was named after Dr. Gumersindo Garcia, the UP Regent who persuaded the UP Administration and UP Regent of Board to allow the building of the Protestant chapel and student center. It was his through his efforts that the chapel and student center was allowed to be built in the university grounds.
 
When Dr. Garcia passed away in April 8, 1964, the student center was renamed Gumersindo Garcia Fellowship Center to dedicate his memory. Later, it was changed to its present name, Gumersindo Garcia Hall or GG Hall, as what is more commonly known to the community.

The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
[[Image:ChurchExterior.jpg|right|thumb|Parish of the Holy Sacrifice]]
==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center] and the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service].
<googlemap lat="14.6588278" lon="121.0709345"></googlemap>

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''. While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
[[Image:Holy_sacrifice_exterior.jpg||right|thumb|Parish of the Holy Sacrifice]]'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Image:Holy_sacrifice_risen.jpg|Christ the Priest
</gallery>
Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children. 
[[Image:MarbleAltar.jpg||right|thumb| ]]
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
'''2.Garden of Love and Friendship''': features a labyrinth of stone surrounded by four monoliths – two upright monoliths at the entrance, two monoliths leaning towards each other. These monoliths represent friendship and romance respectively. There is a monolith in the middle which represents many things but perhaps its most important meaning is that this rock of existence symbolizes that we go through life alone. The labyrinth is the journey through life and it serves as a reminder that one must take care of the gift of life that God gave. 
'''3.Garden of the Family''': features five rocks which represent the family, and a pool which represents life. 
'''4.Garden of Religions''': features three rocks close to one another which represent the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism. 
'''5.Garden of Justice and Peace''': features the tree nursery of the Church. It will also feature a bronze monument of the three martyr-priests – Fr. Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora as a tribute. These are to be sculpted by Tito Sanchez 
'''6.Garden of Mother and Healing''': features the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, which stands for motherland and nurturance. 
'''7.Garden of Eternal Life''': features three rock monoliths. They represent resurrection and eternal life after death.

Church of the Risen Lord

The Church of the Risen Lord is a Protestant church located at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. It arose about 50 years ago through a Protestant student group named the Christian Youth Movement (CYM).
 
==Location==

==History==
====Earlier years (Pre-construction of church)====
In '''1947''', when the University of the Philippines was still in Padre Faura, Manila, a group of Protestant students started a movement named Christian Youth Movement (CYM) which aims to ''“make relevant Christian presence in the university campus”''. They sought help from the '''Philippine Federation of Christian Churches (PFCC)''', now the [http://www.nccphilippines.org/ '''National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP)'''].
 
When the Diliman campus became the main campus of UP in '''1949''', the UPCYM also transferred to Diliman. With the new university setting, they stayed at a ''sawali'' chapel – a chapel made of bamboo and nipa - and shared it with two other religious groups, namely the [http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7876/upscaabout.html ''UP Student Catholic Action (UPSCA)'' and the ''Iglesia Filipina Independencia''].
 
Eventually, these three religious groups started to have conflicts among their schedules, like for the Protestant worship services and the Catholic masses. Also, each group started to receive more and more members, making the chapel too crowded to accommodate all of them. So in '''1952''', the UPCYM launched their own fund drive, for them to be able to build their own Protestant chapel and student center inside the campus. March 16 of that year, they held a concert at the Central Church, Manila, with Ramon Tapales and Flora Zarco-Rivera of the UP Conservatory of Music and Luz Morales of the Centro Escolar University as conductors.
 
In '''1953''', [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesar_Cancio Cesar Cancio] and his architectural firm presented proposed blueprints for the Church and the student center to the NCCP and the UP Regent of Boards. The following year,'''1954''', the Church of the Risen Lord and the Student Center was built. Its groundbreaking ceremonies were held on February 7 of that year.

The Church of the Risen Lord is a Protestant church located at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. It arose about 50 years ago through a Protestant student group named the Christian Youth Movement (CYM).

==History==
In '''1947''', when the University of the Philippines was still in Padre Faura, Manila, a group of Protestant students started a movement named Christian Youth Movement (CYM) which aims to ''“make relevant Christian presence in the university campus”''. They sought help from the '''Philippine Federation of Christian Churches (PFCC)''', now the '''National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP)'''.
 
When the Diliman campus became the main campus of UP in '''1949''', the UPCYM also transferred to Diliman. With the new university setting, they stayed at a ''sawali'' chapel – a chapel made of bamboo and nipa - and shared it with two other religious groups, namely the ''UP Student Catholic Action (UPSCA)'' and the ''Iglesia Filipina Independencia''.
 
Eventually, these three religious groups started to have conflicts among their schedules, like for the Protestant worship services and the Catholic masses. Also, each group started to receive more and more members, making the chapel too crowded to accommodate all of them. So in '''1952''', the UPCYM launched their own fund drive, for them to be able to build their own Protestant chapel and student center inside the campus. March 16 of that year, they held a concert at the Central Church, Manila, with Ramon Tapales and Flora Zarco-Rivera of the UP Conservatory of Music and Luz Morales of the Centro Escolar University as conductors.
 
In '''1953''',

==Architectural structure==
The Church of the Risen Lord was designed to have an exterior shape similar to a parabola. This kind of architectural design symbolizes the belief that there are imperfections outside the Christian world and all of our aspirations to be perfect are useless. A characteristic of a parabola is that it has no distinctive peak just like of a triangle and it has no one slope. As we go up the parabola, before we get to the highest peak, we can observe that we eventually go down.

Also, entering in the church represents the desire to partake the God’s Bread of Life, which symbolizes God’s spiritual being. As we continue to go to the chancel (similar to the altar of the Catholics but has no visual representations of holy beings) – the salvation despite the imperfections in the real world, we can observe that the width of the church is tapering and this represents the one true path/direction towards the chancel (the salvation).

</gallery>
Moreover, the seal of the UPCYM group can be seen as an ascending fire or can also be a descending dove. This symbolizes the spiritual connection between God and the human being. The fire is associated to the faith of the human to his creator and the dove represents the love of God for us.

==Other parts of the church==
The church is comprised of a main chapel (Church of the Risen Lord), a student center (Gumersindo Garcia Hall) and a child care center (Christian Child Care Center).

The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
<gallery>
Image:ChurchExterior.jpg|Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
</gallery>
==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center] and the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service].
<googlemap lat="14.6588278" lon="121.0709345"></googlemap>

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''. While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 
<gallery>
Image:Holy_sacrifice_fallen.jpg|Christ the Victim
Image:Holy_sacrifice_risen.jpg|Christ the Priest
</gallery>
Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
<gallery>
Image:Communion.jpg|Garden of Communion
</gallery>
'''2.Garden of Love and Friendship''': features a labyrinth of stone surrounded by four monoliths – two upright monoliths at the entrance, two monoliths leaning towards each other. These monoliths represent friendship and romance respectively. There is a monolith in the middle which represents many things but perhaps its most important meaning is that this rock of existence symbolizes that we go through life alone. The labyrinth is the journey through life and it serves as a reminder that one must take care of the gift of life that God gave.

'''3.Garden of the Family''': features five rocks which represent the family, and a pool which represents life.

'''4.Garden of Religions''': features three rocks close to one another which represent the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

'''5.Garden of Justice and Peace''': features the tree nursery of the Church. It will also feature a bronze monument of the three martyr-priests – Fr. Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora as a tribute. These are to be sculpted by Tito Sanchez 
'''6.Garden of Mother and Healing''': features the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, which stands for motherland and nurturance.

The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice

==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center] and the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service].
<googlemap lat="14.6588278" lon="121.0709345"></googlemap>

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''. While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 
<gallery>
Image:Holy_sacrifice_fallen.jpg|Christ the Victim
Image:Holy_sacrifice_risen.jpg|Christ the Priest
</gallery>
Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
<gallery>

Church of the Risen Lord

2009-10-14T09:25:26Z

Meespiritu: /* Location */

''Places of Worship Art Studies 2 THR-2 Prof. Roberto G. Paulino Espiritu Mondarte Sarmiento''

The Church of the Risen Lord is a Protestant church located at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. It arose about 50 years ago through a Protestant student group named the Christian Youth Movement (CYM).
 
==Location==
The Church of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along Laurel Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, beside the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Parish_of_the_Holy_Sacrifice Parish of the Holy Sacrifice] and the [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service].
<googlemap lat="14.659534" lon="121.07204"></googlemap>

==History==
In 1947, when the University of the Philippines was still in Padre Faura, Manila, a group of Protestant students started a movement named Christian Youth Movement (CYM) which aims to “make relevant Christian presence in the university campus”.
 
When the Diliman campus became the main campus of UP in 1949, the UPCYM also transferred to Diliman. They stayed at a sawali chapel – a chapel made of bamboo and nipa. They also shared that sawali chapel with two other religious groups, namely the UP Student Catholic Action (UPSCA) and the Iglesia Filipina Independencia.
 
Eventually, these three religious groups started to have conflicts among their schedules of programs and activities. Also, each group started to receive more and more members, making the chapel too crowded to accommodate all of them. So in 1952, the UPCYM launched their own fund drive, for them to be able to build their own Protestant chapel and student center inside the campus. March 16 of that year, they held a concert at the Central Church, Manila
====Notable people====
==Architectural structure==
==Other parts of the church==
The church is comprised of a main chapel (Church of the Risen Lord), a student center (Gumersindo Garcia Hall) and a child care center (Christian Child Care Center).
====Christian Child Care Center (CCCC)====
The Christian Child Care Center is a school that gives scholarships to children from needy families in university communities. It was originally named Nursery-Kindergarten School when it was started in 1961.
====Gumersindo Garcia Hall (GG Hall)====
The Gumersindo Garcia Hall (most commonly known as the GG Hall) is the student center of the CRL. It was named after Dr. Gumersindo Garcia, the UP Regent who persuaded the UP Administration and UP Regent of Board to allow the building of the Protestant chapel and student center. It was his through his efforts that the chapel and student center was allowed to be built in the university grounds.
 
When Dr. Garcia passed away in April 8, 1964, the student center was renamed Gumersindo Garcia Fellowship Center to dedicate his memory. Later, it was changed to its present name, Gumersindo Garcia Hall or GG Hall, as what is more commonly known to the community.

Parish of the Holy Sacrifice

The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [[http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center]] and the [[http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service]].
<googlemap lat="14.6588278" lon="121.0709345"></googlemap>

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''. While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Image:Holy_sacrifice_risen.jpg|Christ the Priest

Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
'''2.Garden of Love''': features a labyrinth of stone surrounded by four monoliths – two upright monoliths at the entrance, two monoliths leaning towards each other. These monoliths represent friendship and romance respectively. There is a monolith in the middle which represents many things but perhaps its most important meaning is that this rock of existence symbolizes that we go through life alone. The labyrinth is the journey through life and it serves as a reminder that one must take care of the gift of life that God gave. 
'''3.Garden of the Family''': features five rocks which represent the family, and a pool which represents life. 
'''4.Garden of Religions''': features three rocks close to one another which represent the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism. 
'''5.Garden of Justice and Peace''': features the tree nursery of the Church. It will also feature a bronze monument of the three martyr-priests – Fr. Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora as a tribute. These are to be sculpted by Tito Sanchez 
'''6.Garden of Mother and Healing''': features the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, which stands for motherland and nurturance. 
'''7.Garden of Eternal Life''': features three rock monoliths. They represent resurrection and eternal life after death.

While different parish priests would have different focuses on their work programs for the community, there would always be a common theme of promoting basic ecclesiastical communities. 
The Parish celebrated its 25th anniversary last June 2002. Over the many years, the thrust has remained the same – ''that of a dynamic parish ministering to the community, the students and the academe''.

==Art==
Fr. Delany commissioned four artists to help design and build The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. ''All four of those artists eventually went on to become [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Artist_of_the_Philippines National Artists of the Philippines]]'', thus making the Church a showcase of works of art created by great Filipino artists.

====Architectural structure====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leandro_Locsin Lindy Locsin]''', who was named National Artist in Architecture in 1992, designed the ''church-in-the-round'', a circular church with a saucer-shaped roof. The Church featured no doors, but it had 14 entrances. This would encourage anyone to come in at any given time and commune with God. He also designed the pews encircling the altar on a round dais located in the middle of the Church. To this day, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice still serves as a fine example of modern architecture in the Philippines.

====Paintings and other works of art====
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Abueva Napoleon V. Abueva]''', who was named National Artist in Sculpture in 1976, designed the ''giant wooden cross'' hanging in the center of the dome-roof above the altar. The ''cross depicts two images of Christ'': ''Christ the victim'' and ''Christ the Priest or the Risen Christ''. The sculpture was meant to illustrate the unique role of Christ in the Eucharistic celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Mr. Abueva also designed the ''marble altar'' in 1979. The ''Sermon on the Mount'' is sculpted on one side while sculpted on the other side is a ''basic Christian community'' with a priest standing among his parishioners, and a nun teaching young children.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Luz Arturo Luz]''', named National Artist in Visual Arts in 1997, designed the ''floor mural entitled the “River of Life”''. The mural, designed in black, white and gray marble chips flows from the altar at the center of the Church down to the sacristy and to the three other equidistant entrances. The river symbolizes life, as it flows like a river from God at the altar to us.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Manansala Enteng Manansala]''', who was named National Artist in Painting in 1981, painted in oil the ''15 murals depicting the Stations of the Cross''. Each station covers the entire interior wall of the Church, between the entrances. Fourteen panels depict the traditional 14 Stations of the Cross and 15th, added by Mr. Manansala, depicts the ''Resurrection of Christ''. Interestingly enough, the Stations of the Cross have been revised by Vatican II and now includes Christ’s Resurrection or “Jesus is Risen”.

==Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament==
There is a small chapel located beside the Church, with shiny parquet flooring, burnished wooden walls with bamboo accents and ambient interior lighting. Displayed behind glass in one wall rests the ''Blessed Sacrament'' and beside it is the ''Tabernacle'' containing the Communion hosts. 
The chapel was intended to be part of a healing ministry of the Parish, but that eventually took the form of the Paghihilom Center. The Chapel of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament remains a place of worship and vigil.

==The Gardens Surrounding the Church==
There are seven gardens surrounding the Church: 
'''1.Garden of Communion''': features the bust of Fr. Delaney and it depicts the unity of time, action, spirit and natures four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. 
'''2.Garden of Love''': features a labyrinth of stone surrounded by four monoliths – two upright monoliths at the entrance, two monoliths leaning towards each other. These monoliths represent friendship and romance respectively. There is a monolith in the middle which represents many things but perhaps its most important meaning is that this rock of existence symbolizes that we go through life alone. The labyrinth is the journey through life and it serves as a reminder that one must take care of the gift of life that God gave. 
'''3.Garden of the Family''': features five rocks which represent the family, and a pool which represents life. 
'''4.Garden of Religions''': features three rocks close to one another which represent the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism. 
'''5.Garden of Justice and Peace''': features the tree nursery of the Church. It will also feature a bronze monument of the three martyr-priests – Fr. Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora as a tribute. These are to be sculpted by Tito Sanchez 
'''6.Garden of Mother and Healing''': features the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, which stands for motherland and nurturance. 
'''7.Garden of Eternal Life''': features three rock monoliths. They represent resurrection and eternal life after death.

The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice
==Location==
The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice is located in UP Diliman, along J. P. Laurel cor. Apacible St. Agoncillo, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, near the [[http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Shopping_Center Shopping Center]] and the [[http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/University_Health_Service UP Health Service]].

==History==
Before the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice was built, an old sawali-bamboo building which served as a chapel of a US Army detachment was originally there. However, when UP was established in Diliman in 1949, '''Fr. John Patrick Delaney S.J.''' saw possibilities with the land and with the help of volunteers, he was able to convert the building into a little brown chapel. This chapel catered to the U.P. Diliman Catholics and served as their place of worship. 
Fr. Delaney's concept of the UP Church would be one that was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where oneness between the celebrating priest, the people and communicants would be achieved. Ideally, this would translate into closeness between God and humankind. 
In 1977, the chaplaincy initially established by Fr. Delaney became an established parish under '''Fr. Manny Gabriel''', its ''first parish priest''.
