Memorial Toon van der Doelen

In the vestibule of the Sacrament Church a monument has been attached to the wall in commemoration of Toon van der Doelen. Until 2015, the monument was in the porch of the Sint Petruskerk in Berlicum. Due to the demolition of the church, the monument was moved to Middelrode.

The text on the monument reads:
'IN PARADISUM
DEDUCANT TE ANGEU
IN MEMORIAM
ANTONIUS – JOSEPHUS
VAN – DER – DOELEN
GEB. BERLICUM 14 MAART 1905
GESNEUVELD GREBBEBERG
PINKSTEREN 1940.'
