It was there that the French language was spoken and the Dutch-speaking De Loor found it quite difficult to navigate a path to the convent.

De Loor was transferred after his profession to the convent at Kortrijk on 11 August 1912 where he was put to work both as a gardener and as a cook.

Despite suffering with a painful tumour that had a partial effect on his sight he was reluctant to complain about it; cancer was diagnosed and his right eye was removed in June 1911.

De Loor's beatification process opened under Pope Pius XII on 15 March 1952, granting him the title of Servant of God.

[4] Pope John Paul II named him as Venerable on 12 July 1982 after confirming his life of model heroic virtue.
