During the Reformation, the Catholics in this region were served by Jesuits from Nijkerk. Services were held in 't Veen in the 'Sandhuysken'. Later, the residents of 't Veen came under Hoogland and went to church in Hoogland (an hour and a quarter's walk) or Amersfoort (no less than 1 to 2 hours' walk). Around 1853, the desirability of establishing a separate parish for this part of Hoogland and Hoevelaken was first mentioned. Due to all kinds of difficulties, the plans for a separate parish could not be realised until 1917. The population of Hooglanderveen had increased in the meantime, partly due to the construction of the railway. This increase in families also caused problems with regard to catechism education for children who had to travel far too far for this.
