Titus Brandsma Memorial, space for silence2023-11-18T16:10:43+01:00

Keeping Titus Brandsma and what he stands for alive and creating space for spirituality, reflection, formation, education and celebration. Thanks to the commitment of many volunteers, the church is open every day. Many people drop in to experience the benevolent silence. The church breathes the spirit of Titus Brandsma, in part due to the permanent exhibition on his life and work. Every day people visit Titus in the Titus Chapel. They lay down their worries and needs before him. They recognize in him a friend and a guide. People are looking for a spirituality that permeates ordinary life. At the meeting center, participants practice this spirituality. The Titus Brandsma Memorial Church, a place for silence and contemplation in the heart of Nijmegen.

The Titus Brandsma Memorial is is a Carmelite center for spirituality.
Every day there are different liturgical celebrations in the Titus Brandsma Memorial Church
and meetings in the adjacent meeting center.
There is a varied offer for reflection, formation and schooling
