Important modern church with tower. During the Reformation, the Dinxperlo Catholics had a church (facility) in nearby Suderwick, Germany. From the nineteenth century onwards, they attended church in Breedenbroek (HH Petrus en Paulus). It was not until 1964 that Dinxperlo became an independent parish again. The new church, designed by HA Knoop, is a central building on a pentagonal plan, with a tent roof and a freestanding bell tower. As a whole, it is typical of the austerity in Roman Catholic church construction from the 1960s onwards, according to the guidelines of the Second Vatican Council, in a businesslike and functionalist style.

Newly established Roman Catholic parish and church in the west of Ede. Consecrated on 2 November 1958. Hall church on a trapezoidal plan, with a tower to the left of the slightly convex front facade. Important (still existing) work in the oeuvre of the BJ & HM Koldewey office, in a modernist and functionalist style, striking because of the pronounced austerity and the bright incidence of light. In the spring of 2012 it was announced that this church would be withdrawn from Roman Catholic worship as of 1 January 2013. The other Roman Catholic church in Ede, St. Antonius van Padua, will remain in use. Last Roman Catholic celebration in this church on Palm Sunday, 24 March 2013.

New Roman Catholic parish in Buitenveldert, founded in 1961. The church building was consecrated on October 26, 1968.

Church centre De Goede Rede in Almere-Haven. Architecturally interesting complex with tower, the first church tower in Almere.

Wooden church building with roof turret. Since April 30, 2019, the building at IJweg 1100 in Hoofddorp has been the property and on Sunday, March 1, 2020, the congregation was able to celebrate our first church service here with gratitude. In the meantime, the building has been refurbished and made suitable for our church services and weekday activities. Previously, the congregation had its own building at the Liesbos (from 1996) and we held church services in the auditorium of the Haarlemmermeer Lyceum (from 2004). Now everything is centered in one location! The building is not a traditional church building. It was originally built as a temporary extension of the KSH (Catholic Scholengemeenschap Hoofddorp) and mainly contained classrooms. After a few years, the extension was no longer necessary and the building was purchased by De Meerkerk, who started holding church services in this building and later used it as a meeting and office center. The building on the IJweg is located on a central road through the Haarlemmermeer, on the border of the Overbos and Bornholm districts, and close to Toolenburg, and offers the opportunity to have its own permanent location for church services both on Sundays and during the week.

The Groate Church, built in 1844, replaced a brick church that was originally built around 1530. Only the church tower from 1669 was maintained. In 1979 the Alde Fryske Tsjerken Foundation took over the church. The building has undergone radical restoration and has been in use since 1980 as a cultural center. A pilgrim information center has been established in the porch since 2011.
