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.

Well-maintained chapel that you can enter, there are also some small chairs. This Lourdes chapel on the corner of Leemkuilstraat and Zelliksebaan was reportedly built by Frans Janssens. Janssens was born in Bekkevoort on 31 January 1839 and was an important sponsor for the parish. His parents were wealthy farmers and lived in Klein Kempen, at the intersection of Leemkuilstraat and Zelliksebaan. Frans was unmarried. In 1865 he became a member of the church council and remained so until his death on 25 January 1900.
