Construction of the Afsluitdijk started in 1927. For this, workers were hired from all over the country, including many Catholics. There was no Catholic church in Den Oever. Then the employees asked whether a Catholic church could also be built in Den Oever. The Chapel was a gift from the MUZ (Society for the Implementation of Zuiderzee Works) and served as a Catholic church.
