The current church replaced the adjacent old church (1838), because it had become too small. It is a single-nave church with a wide nave in expressionist forms. Front tower with saddle roof. Painting of the chancel by J. Collette; stained glass windows by the studio Nicolas & Zn. in Roermond (1922) and by H. Oidtmann in Linnich (D); Stations of the Cross by Ch. Eyck (1958).
Steenwijksmoer, NL
Steenwijksmoer's church was built in 1932, thanks to the efforts of pastor Slosser who had saved a considerable sum of money in a limited number of years by begging sermons in various churches, and tens of thousands of begging letters. An amount of ƒ 79,820,— was spent on the construction of the church and rectory. A cemetery and a Catholic school were also laid out in the village. The church building is a characteristic example of a Christocentric church space with a wide nave. In 1939, the murals on the triumphal arch, behind the altar (Last Supper) and around the main portal were painted by Jacob Ydema (1901-1990).
Groningen, NL
The St. Francis Church in Groningen was put into use on January 23, 1934 as the parish church of the St. Francis Parish. The church was consecrated on July 4, 1934 by Mgr. Janssen, Archbishop of Utrecht. After more than 60 years of independence, the Francis Parish merged with three other Roman Catholic parishes in Groningen in 1996 to form the St. Martin Parish, and the St. Francis Church is one of the two remaining church facilities.

A sober neo-Gothic church with tower on the outside and richly decorated on the inside.
