The Catholic parish church of St. Judas Thaddäus was built from 1953 to 1954. The hall church is located in the district of Sürenheide in the East Westphalian city of Verl in the district of Gütersloh in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia . Church and congregation belong to the Verl pastoral group in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
It is named after St. Judas Thaddäus . It was built due to the increase in the Catholic population of Sürenheide after the Second World War . Numerous expellees from eastern Germany settled in the district after the war. The need for another church in the parish also increased due to the economic boom in Verl.
history
After the parish St. Anna Verl for the construction of the new church in Sürenheide Mrs Bernhardine Jakob Feuerborn land on 23 October 1951 given was, the church could be started on 27 May 1953 the construction. The foundation stone was laid on July 12, 1953.
During the construction phase there was a fatal accident of a carpenter's apprentice, which meant that the consecration had to be postponed. On November 28, 1954, there was therefore only one benediction . A benediction includes a provisional approval from the episcopal authority and not the official start of use by the episcopal mandate. On September 7, 1957, the consecration could be made up.
As early as 1955 the parish was raised to an independent parish vicarie with its own asset management.
In 1985 extensive renovation and reconstruction work was carried out on the parish church: the plaster of the outer walls, which was originally painted yellow, was replaced by red clinker bricks. In addition, the small bell tower that was on the main building of the church has been removed. Instead, the high church tower was built, which still characterizes the external appearance of the parish church of St. Judas Thaddäus.
The three Catholic parishes in Verl, Sankt Maria Immaculata in Kaunitz , Sankt Anna in Verl and Sankt Judas Thaddäus in Sürenheide, joined forces on January 1, 2001 to form a joint pastoral association.
