Heilige Augustinus

The old parish church dedicated to Saint Augustine ended up on the edge of the village due to the digging of the Juliana Canal between 1921 and 1935. For the canal, 50 houses around the church were demolished. After the Second World War, Elsloo expanded strongly to the east. It was clear that a second church would have to be built, which would be more centrally located. The Augustine Church would become a subsidiary church of the new Godshuis. In October 1952, architect Dings investigated whether it would be possible to expand the old church. This turned out to be impossible due to the soil conditions. The question arose as to where this new church should be built. The chosen building location was between the field road Elserheggen (now Dorine Verschureplein/Bandkeramiekerstraat) and the Koolweg. In June 1953, pastor Bertin brought architect Dings to the vote in the church council, which almost unanimously appointed him as the architect of the new church. The diocese joined that choice. Pastor Bertin made a pilgrimage to Lourdes that year to prepare himself spiritually for his task as a construction pastor. The tender took place on 11 March 1958. Contractor Schreurs from Sittard was the lowest bidder. The first stone was laid on 22 June of that year. On 25 October 1959, Mgr. Moors consecrated the church.
