The Roman Catholic par. The Emmaus Passengers has recently become part of the Maria Magdalena federation and is the only Roman Catholic church in Groot-IJsselmonde in district 16. It is a building with a gable roof, in which the architect must have been inspired by the camel in the desert. Then the Pelgrimskerk PKN church and the Taborkerk van de Geref closed. Congregate the story of the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor and the pilgrims on the way to Emmaus as an entire story. The building of RK De Emmausgangers is also a bit like a ship in the desert, the same metaphor as used for a camel. It is a memorial church and is a reminder of the Second World War, which can be seen on the wall full of crosses. Furthermore, the building has beautiful glass windows in concrete with biblical texts. The church space symbolically has the 4 points of the compass with separate entrances. The altar is in the form of a sarcophagus with a marble table top. The priest's choir is at a distance from the altar, so that the choristers do not directly inhale the incense during the celebrations. The acoustics are very good and when there is sun it appears through the windows of the gable roof. When it is cloudy, the church space needs artificial light. The glass balloon lamps radiate a warm artificial light over the music pieces of choristers and accompaniment instruments. Everyone sits on wooden green chairs, the seats of which are hollowed out and ergonomically well thought out. There is a day chapel. The money for the many extras was donated by Germany, making this overrigens sober building with a sober Crucifix and a medieval statue of Mary in a halo become a modern monument for modern Catholics and is referred to as the South Cathedral.
