  • In 1954, the Sint Joseph Church on the Sint-Josephplantsoen was built in Sittard-Stad(s)broek by H.A. Huysmans. Verschueren placed an 'occasional offer' in the church in 1969. Consultant was Drs. A. Kurris from Sittard. The church building was closed after a final celebration on February 15, 1998 and was demolished in 2001.
  • The organ was sold in 1998 to the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Rotselaar-Heikant. A harmonium was in use in this church. The organ was transferred by the Pels-D'Hondt company.
