Characteristic work from the oeuvre of Hendrik W. Valk (1886-1973) from 's Hertogenbosch, designed according to the so-called Christocentric design (priest's chancel at the intersection of nave and transept). The wide, brick-vaulted nave is flanked by two side aisles; against the tower two transepts. The interior is entirely built of beautiful brickwork. Characteristic are the sculpted apostle heads by Jozef Cantré (1890-1957) and the painted Stations of the Cross by Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). The stained glass windows are by Joep Nicolas (1897-1972). The robust, relatively low tower body is crowned by an imposing spire.

The population continued to expand and the emergency church became too small. In 1935-'36 the current church was built of brick. The design is in the expressionist style of J. Cuypers and P. Cuypers jr. More information about the architecture can be found at the Stichting Wetenschapsinstituut Glasschilderkunst 20e eeuw. The clock was made by the Eysbouts company in Asten in 1936. In that same year the church was blessed by dean Souren and the new church could be put into use. Finally in 1937 the rectory was elevated to an independent parish. The bishop of Roermond appointed rector Schippers as the first pastor of the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
