UST Chapel (Santísimo Rosario Parish) (Manila) | Roman Catholic church

Philippines / National Capital Region / Manila / Gonzales Drive
 chapel, Roman Catholic church
When the Santísimo Rosario Parish was canonically inaugurated by Archbishop of Manila Michael O' Doherty on April 26, 1942. During the Japanese Occupation of Manila, the Chapel of the University of Santo Tomas was designated as a Parish Church and has remained such to this day. However, on campus, it is still identified as the UST Chapel and serves as a spiritual haven for the Thomasian community. It is also the venue for Eucharistic Celebrations, recollections and other religious activities.

On September 28, 1942, after the Sto. Domingo Church in Intramuros had been damaged during the initial bombing raids of World War II, the image of Our Lady of La Naval was tranferred, for reasons of safety, to the UST Chapel, and was enshrined there until October 10, 1954. The image was again transferred in a solemn procession to the newly-erected Convent of Santo Domingo in Quezon City.

In commemoration of the 50th year of the said transfer, the image of Our Lady of La Naval returned to the University on October 1, 1992. After the nine-day novena, Our Lady was brought back in a solemn procession to her shrine in Santo Domingo Church.
