== Sawali Chapel ==
During the early years on the campus,three religions, namely Catholics, Protestants and Aglipayans shared the Sawali chapel which was used by the American troops. But due to the differences in the beliefs and with the number of members for each religion growing, it has been decided that respective places of worship must be built. It was during the term of President Vidal Arceo Tan when the 2 religious groups were allowed to have separate sanctuaries.

==History==
==Concept of Fr. John P. Delaney==
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. <br/><br/>
The concept of Fr. Delaney was centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. For him, the Mass is everything in our lives as believers of God. He wanted the parishioners to be close with the priest every time a Mass is being celebrated and thus having a concept of an altar at the center of a round Church. He wanted the Church to be open to everyone anytime they want to pray, to hear Mass or to talk to God thus having no doors so that parishioners can only see entrances encouraging them to go in any time. Fr. Delaney commissioned the help of four artists who eventually became nNational Artists to help him materialize his concept of the Church.
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. <br/><br/>
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. <br/><br/>
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====
==Structure Design==
'''[[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.

Originally,Leandro Locsin designed the Church for the Ossorio Family in Negros but when they left the country the plan was scrapped. When Fr. Delaney relayed to Leandro Locsin his concept of the Church, Leandro Locsin adapted his previous  design of the Church and thus coming up with the final design of the circular Church with a saucer-shaped roof, the pews situated around the altar in the middle of the Church and with 14 entrances but no doors.

====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. <br/><br/>
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. <br/><br/>
'''[[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. <br/><br/>
'''[[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”.

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.
