In 1950, the fourth Roman Catholic St. Urbanus church was built. The question was where the previous three churches of Belfeld stood. Thanks to the help of fellow collectors, the answer was found. The first church, which stood until 1839, as well as the second church from 1839 and the third church from 1912, all three stood on the Markt on the corner of the Urbanusstraat. The new church from after 1945 is at Irenelaan 23. (50-03)
Enschede, NL
In Roman Catholic Centre De Schalm. Also Samen Op Weg Centre De Schalm. The church was built in 1967 by architect ir. J.H.S.luijmer and ir. A. Middelhoek. The Reformed first used a farm De Wesseler that had been converted into a church community centre and later a boiler house that had been converted into a church hall. The Reformed discovered that building their own church would be very expensive. It was decided to rent the Roman Catholic Church Verrijzenis des Heer and to add a conference centre De Schalm for the Reformed. After the formation of the SoW community, all Reformed and Protestant activities were combined in De Schalm and the Roman Catholic church was also used for Protestant services. (51-04)
