    Tips

    Impulse for the Kempen-Tönisvorst pilgrimage route:
    "Behold God's tent on earth! He is hidden; in human gestures he remains close to the people. – The Lord wants to guide his wandering people in this time; he has his house ready for them there at the end of the ages."
    Those are my favorite lines when I think of St. Joseph. It is reassuring to think that God has built us a tent where we can find protection and shelter. Even if we are "his wandering people", he gives us safety and security. At the same time, his mission to us is to wander, not to be stuck in one place, not to stand in one place, but to remain mobile, first of all in the body, of course, but also in the mind and spirit. That means staying flexible, adopting new perspectives, consciously changing perspectives, leaving rigidity behind.
    The tent roof church in the south of Kempen as a reminder from God to leave!

      The pilgrimage route Kempen-Tönisvorst northern route hiking route begins at St. Josef in the district of Kamperlings. There are also parking facilities there. From there, the route runs in a wide arc around Kempen to St. Hubert and then to St. Peter in the south of Kempen. But you can also start at St. Peter, there are parking spaces there too.
      The church and the adjoining parish center were designed and built between 1988 and 1990 by the Aachen architects Schmitz-Curbach. Characteristic of the St. Joseph's Church are the tent-shaped roof and the narrow church tower. The church even has a copper curtain on the main portal in the courtyard to commemorate the "tent of God among men". The emergency church erected in 1970 already had St. Joseph as patron of the workers as namesake.
