The local religious community of Merchtem has Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Noodt as its patron saint. Since time immemorial there has been a great veneration of Mary in the religious community. In the church is the 13th century statue of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Noodt. On special occasions, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Noodt song is sung in the church.

Every Sunday morning in the month of May there is a pilgrimage "De Weg-Om" through the streets of Merchtem. The last week in the month of May is entirely dedicated to Our Lady (Feestweek). In addition, the foot and bicycle pilgrimages to Scherpenheuvel are also known.
