Meijel, NL
This church was a neo-Gothic cruciform church by father and son Van Groenendael, probably in collaboration with mgr. H. Wouters, director of the Episcopal College in Weert and a brother of the pastor in Meijel. The church thus obtained was called the 'cathedral of the Peel' because of its beauty and large size. Because the new church was built on the same site as the old one, the parish was dependent on an emergency church, which remained in use from 1901 until the blessing of the new building in 1904. The church was not yet fully furnished upon completion, a process that continued until 1944.
