St. Therese of the Child Jesus Parish (commonly called "St. Therese" or simpley "Therese") is found inside the U.P. Los Baños campus and is a good place for reflection. Despite being within a very busy university (not to mention a very busy street adjacent to it), St. Therese is frequently visited by students and employees alike. Besides having a comfortable area for mass services, the place was infamous for an alleged mass murder or mass grave in the place. This information was mentioned in a paper presentation on history I attended last December.

[How to go to St. Therese of the Child Jesus Parish: From Manila, boarda bus bound for Sta. Cruz, Laguna. Such buses are found near Gil Puyat LRT Station. Drop off at Olivarez Plaza in Los Baños, Laguna or alternatively, at Junction (a Jollibee store branch will be your marker for this place). Then board a jeep bound for UP College Kaliwa. Tell the driver to drop you off at St. Therese. The church is just across the UPLB Mathematics Building.]
