My installation as parish priest in my home province,
From Wim Wouters M.Afr
(He has been missionnary in Zambia for many years).

The Parish is St. Stephanus, in Lage Mierde in the Diocese of 's Hertogenbosch, NETHERLANDS.
It is just about ten kilometers from the Belgian Border.
Frans van de Weijst M.Afr was here for the past six years and I have taken over from him.

The Fathers Guido Stuer and Herman Cornelissen walk directly behind us.
It was on Saturday the 2nd of September 2006.

Arrival at the Parish House.

During Mass: concelebrated with Frans van de Weijst, Jan Mol (Provincial M.Afr on the left )
and Ad van Pinxteren. We are staying with three of us as a small M.afr community. In our own littlew way we try to be of service to three parishes.
