Sente is a parish of Kuurne. "Sente" in the local dialect means "sint," which refers to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the parish's patron saint.
The process of Sente becoming an independent parish was quite a challenge, as the local information sign explains:
In 1876, the municipalities of Kuurne, Heule, and Lendelede promised to build a church, establish a cemetery, and fill in the pond in the village center. The following year, none of this had materialized. In response, the West Flanders Provincial Council declared it would issue a favorable recommendation for the separation of St. Catherine if the surrounding municipalities did not begin carrying out the promised work. Even under this "threat," the surrounding municipalities protested seriously.
Ultimately, a new cemetery was built, and plans for a church also took shape. Mr. De Quinnemaere from Heule designed the Neo-Romanesque church. On September 7, 1879, it was inaugurated by Ferdinand Vandeputte, then dean of Kortrijk. Since then, the first Sunday of September has been celebrated as Fair Sunday.
