Saint John the Baptist, to whom the Düdinghausen church is dedicated, is, like Saint Joseph, a man standing on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. John is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven.

In recent years, to the delight of the Düdinghauser parishioners, these "sins" of the 1960s have been partially reversed.
In the church services of the catholic are regular. Düdinghausen parish celebrated. ... "
