IMPORTANT NEWS
The religious order that Fathers Avin and Melvin belong to (the SVD) can no longer provide the necessary number of priests required by the basilica so the bishop has decided that they will leave Schiedam in January and that they will be replaced by Dominican brothers from Rotterdam - Father Michael and Father Stefan who have both said Mass for us.
On Saturday 18th January 2025, Fathers Avin and Melvin will say Mass in the basilica at 6 p.m. then there will be a leaving reception for them in the Wilgenburg. Everyone is invited.
The Dominican brothers will start on Sunday 26th January at 9.30 a.m. when they preside over the Dutch Mass. After Mass they will be welcomed to the parish during a reception in the Wilgenburg. If the reception has not yet finished by the end of our Mass, we are welcome to join them otherwise we will have our usual Sunday get together there.
Father Naveen is leaving as well, after his final Mass with us on 19th January. He will be replaced by Fathers Michael and Stefan, who will be the celebrants for the Masses in both Dutch and English at the Basiliek.

Pray With The Pope, From Your iPhone, Tablet or Smartphone
"The Internet and social media are a resource of our time," the pope said from a balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square while pointing to a tablet. He was explaining that the Vatican has provided a special App called “Click to pray”.
Pope Francis said that he would insert the intentions and the prayer requests for the mission of the Church here so anyone who wants to join in can use the App. The pope approves of modern technology and calls the Web "a gift from God." Now he's given his followers a convenient way to turn on their smart devices and see what the leader of the Catholic Church is praying for at any given time.
The pope would like us to "Pray every day", to "Pray together with others" and "Give to the community."
Pope Francis specifically asks young people to download the app since he would really love to make the Church relevant for younger generations as the proportion of Catholics declines across the world.

The Religious Order of Our Priests
|
Our priests are from the Dominican Order, also known as the Order of Preachers, which was approved via Papal Bull on December 22, 1216 by Pope Honorius III. This order took its name from its mentor and founder, a Spanish priest Dominic of Caleruega. This Order was primarily centered in the education of the faith as well as preaching the Gospel. It is also through St. Dominic that we have received one of the greatest devotions the Church has ever had – the Most Holy Rosary.
The four pillars of our Dominican life are preaching, prayer, study, and community. Click here for more information about Dominicans in the Netherlands |

God has created the human body as a fantastic machine which performs amazing feats every day and depends on all the individual parts working together.
During a visit to Corpus on the outskirts of Leiden, you can experience a spectacular ‘journey through the human body’ and appreciate what a wonderful creation we all are and how unique.
The journey begins at the knee and works its way up through the body to the brain. You experience being inside the womb, how the lungs, heart, kidneys, bowels, nose, eyes, ears and mouth work and how they interact with the brain. Everything is simply explained with not too much detail and sometimes with the use of 3D spectacles. Worth a visit.

Note: Visits are in groups which are allocated time slots so you have to book a time slot before going.
