Earlier presbyteries
A first presbytery is mentioned in 1525; it burned down in August 1574. For some sixty years the parish priests then lived in the castle of the lords of Diegem; by 1603 only the foundations of the old presbytery remained. Between 1626 and 1636 a new presbytery opposite the church was acquired. It was enlarged in 1744 with a contribution from the abbey of Kornelimünster (1,200 of the 1,800 guilders). In July 1794 the parish archives were looted by French revolutionaries.
The presbytery of 1847
The present presbytery was built in 1847 under parish priest Joannes Josephus Veulemans, to plans by the architect Louis Spaak, in Boom brick. The estimate was 9,604 francs; the final cost rose to about 18,000 francs, paid entirely by the church council without subsidy. A chronogram above the door recalls Father Veulemans.
The presbytery held among other things an oak medallion (1726), a terracotta statue of Saint Joseph from Andenne and the old chest of the Holy Ghost Table with four locks (situation in 1980).
