|
|
|
|
|
Our seven-year celebrations are getting closer and closer. That is why our Coronation Secretariat was opened on November 2. Be sure to come and have a look. You can already buy grandstand and evening game tickets there. We would also like to invite you to the 4th lecture under our theme 1TP5Search connection on November 17. In October we went around our new deanery with the processional image. We met with street committees and recorded Coronation Songs. You can find an impression of this here. We wish you much reading pleasure.

For decades, Roger Swerts, together with the other Bjètels, has provided dazzling shows in our beautiful Tongers dialect. This year, after two years of corona silence, he is coming to the Velinx with a solo show. A brand new show, but with the known and tasted ingredients. In the new songs and conferences there is of course attention for corona, for the merger and for everything that goes on in the first

Successful tour of OLV in new deanery

|
|
|
From the last Sunday in September through Oct. 23, the processional statue Our Lady Cause of Our Joy visited a Sunday church within the new deanery of Tongeren every weekend. Everywhere had worked hard to give Mary a beautifully decorated place. Bilzen Centrum was allowed to kick off. A beautiful occasional chapel was set up in the space under the tower. In Hoeselt-Centre, there was a beautiful welcome moment, with a different person each time.
