No entry found for a font in this church in BALaT KIK-IRPA. The entry for this church in the Onroerenderfgoed [https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/80821] [accessed 17 December 2022] reports a neo-Romanesque baptismal font of stone and marble from 1901 with a brass cover in the new church: "1901 gedateerde, neoromaanse doopvont van hardsteen en marmer, met deksel van messing". A communication from Pol Herman (e-mail of 11 August 2022) notes: "In 1901, a new baptismal font was donated to the church, and the old font was taken by an Antwerp antiques dealer. Since then, its track is lost."
