  • The Sacrament Church in Berchem-Groenenhoek was dedicated on May 21, 1960. An organ was installed in the church that came from elsewhere. It was built around 1900 by the Stevens company, but the original location is not known. It is thought to have been a residence organ. The instrument was installed by Jos. Stevens in the previous church building, where it was dedicated on June 3rd, 1934, with a recital by Flor Peeters. During the transfer to the new building in 1960 the Cor de Nuit 8' of the Reciet was replaced by a Flûte 4'.
  • At the end of 2014 it was announced that the church building would be closed. Possibly degradation follows, and otherwise at least a major conversion.
