Built as Roman Catholic St. Joseph Church, a public auxiliary church of the Jesuit Fathers, so not a parish church. Exceptionally important neo-Romanesque church with double tower front and dome. Restored and drastically redecorated, or simplified, including removal of many wall paintings, in the late 1990s. A chapel was also set up at that time in memory of Father Titus Brandsma. This Frisian Carmelite died in the Nazi camp in Dachau in 1942. The church is open to visitors almost daily. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church in the new Colmschate district was designed in 1989 by Kristinsson architects from Deventer for the Titus Brandsma parish. When this young parish was founded in 1980, it chose Titus Brandsma as its patron saint and included a chapel in his memory in the building concept of the church. Several of Brandsma's relics are displayed in this memorial chapel. The aim is to rekindle the veneration of Brandsma in this chapel and to keep his memory alive. The church and chapel can be characterised as a place of pilgrimage in the making. The church has a diamond-shaped ground surface with the entrance and meeting room, the memorial chapel and the church hall on the diagonal south-north axis. There are various ancillary rooms on two sides. The memorial chapel, with room for 20 to 30 people, was conceived as a central element in the building and is recognisable as such from the inside and outside. The chapel is constructed of steel and glass. The glass spire and the transparent double walls, which have been colourfully painted by Pirjo Dijk-Kaupinnen, create an artistically designed interplay of light and lines in the memorial chapel.
