The municipality of Bekkevoort is concerned about the chapels and wants to keep them in the future. People over 55 were therefore called upon to take on the role of godmother or godfather (alone or in a group) of a particular chapel.

This chapel at the intersection of Zelliksebaan and Leemkuistraat, like the chapel of the Holy Family, was also built by Frans Janssens. His parental home was nearby. Frans, unmarried, was born in Bekkevoort on January 31, 1839, and his parents were wealthy farmers. In 1865 he became a member of the church factory and remained so until his death in 1900.
