Religious and community events in the Low Countries

Overview

Various religious and communal activities are being organized across the Netherlands and Belgium. In the Netherlands, community events include the Waves of Praise festival in Katwijk, which features workshops and a Christian dance program, and a concert by the Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda in Waalwijk to support vulnerable populations.

In Belgium, Catholic communities are focusing on catechetical programs, including a redesign of the ‘confirmation walk’ intended for release in 2027.

Looking ahead to 2027, a biennial ‘Community Weekend’ is scheduled to take place at the Emmaus monastery in Helvoirt, Netherlands, to promote spiritual deepening and social connection.
