overview

Stichting SacramentskerkBreda manages a former church in Breda as a cultural center for music, spirituality, and community events.

Stichting Sacramentskerk Breda is a foundation that manages and maintains the building of the Sacramentskerk, a former church that is now a multifunctional center for podium arts and spirituality in Breda, the Netherlands. The foundation was established in 2013, after the church was closed due to a decline in the number of parishioners. The foundation aims to preserve the historical and cultural value of the building, as well as to provide a space for various activities and events that enrich the community. The foundation is supported by donations, subsidies, and rental fees.

The website provides information about the history, the facilities, the events, and the contact details of the center. The website’s business is to promote and host various events and initiatives that are related to faith and music. The center is home to several musical organizations, such as the Kooracademie Breda, a musical organization that offers choir training and performances for children and adults, the Choralen van de Grote of O.L.V. Kerk Breda, a group of singers who perform Gregorian chants at the Great Church of Breda, and the Venti Musicali concert series, a series of concerts that feature classical music from different periods and styles. The center also supports a Catholic community, called the Geloofsgemeenschap de Zandberg, that holds weekly services and celebrations at the center. The center also collaborates with a company, called the Candle Light Events Breda, that provides event management and catering services for weddings, funerals, and other occasions at the center. The website is owned by the board of Stichting SacramentskerkBreda, which consists of volunteers who are responsible for the policy, administration, and communication of the center. The website is in Dutch and has a simple and professional design.
