Description
Originally, this chapel was part of the monastery of the Poor Clare nuns built in 1930.After 1945 it was opened to the local public. The entire building was bought by the parish of Saint Joseph in 1993 and it now has a pastoral centre, a diocesan library and a social assistance centre.
The chapel is still open for the faithful. The wrought iron grill at the entrance depicts the Last Supper. There are many statues of saints such as Claire ,Francis, and Colette in places of honour inside. In the old monastery’s cloister there are beautiful and moving ceramics by Max Van der Linden recounting episodes in the life of Saint Francis.
