Saint James the Greater
On October 22, 2017, Bishop Frans Wiertz performed one of his last acts as bishop before enjoying his well-deserved retirement.

He came to St. Pancras Church, where he was pastor/dean for so long, to bless a statue of Saint James the Greater. The Brotherhood of Saint James the Greater from Roermond also traveled to Heerlen in full regalia to see Mgr. Wiertz and to witness the consecration of the statue of James.

The sculpture, which Peter Schunck from Heerlen had his fellow citizen, the sculptor Sjaak Teunissen, make especially for this church, shows a James in the traditional form as a pilgrim. James wears a remarkable azure robe.

The statue is located in a niche above the north door in the tower. It is striking how small the image is. The reason for this donation was the successful pilgrimage that Peter Schunck from Heerlen made together with his wife Marlène in 2012. After her death, he did it again alone in 2015.
