In Holsbeek, Armistice Day will be commemorated on Wednesday, November 11, with a call for world peace. The municipality is organizing ceremonies in each sub-municipality, each including a church service, a floral tribute at local monuments, and a reception. Everyone is welcome to attend these commemorations.
The ceremonies will take place at the following locations and times: the Sint-Catharinakerk in Kortrijk-Dutsel on Sunday, November 8, at 9 AM; the Sint-Pieterskerk in Sint-Pieters-Rode on Wednesday, November 11, at 9:30 AM; the Sint-Lambertuskerk in Nieuwrode on Wednesday, November 11, at 10:30 AM; and the Sint-Mauruskerk in Holsbeek-Dorp on Wednesday, November 11, at 11 AM.
Specifically in Holsbeek, the floral tributes at the monuments will partly take place before the main service. At 10 AM, there will be a tribute at the memorial stone for the victims of the air raid on Holsbeek-Plein (near the Sint-Caroluskerk). At 10:15 AM, a tribute will be held at Dreef Van Tilt, at the memorial stones for the Van Tilt Brothers, Guy de Briey, and Albert Soete. The commemoration at the veterans' park in the Langeveld cemetery is scheduled for 10:30 AM.
