Paul Schruers (1929–2008) was the second Bishop of Hasselt in Belgium.
Schruers was born in Hasselt on 25 October 1929. He experienced a sense of religious vocation from the age of 16.[1] He studied at the minor seminary in Sint-Truiden and the Diocesan Seminary of Liège, where he was ordained to the priesthood in 1954.[2]
From 1957 to 1967 he was professor of dogmatic theology at the Diocesan Seminary in Liège.[3] He was appointed vicar general when the diocese of Hasselt was founded in 1967, and auxiliary bishop in 1970. On 15 December 1989 he succeeded Jozef Heusschen as bishop.[3] Pope John Paul II accepted his resignation on 25 October 2004.[2]
After a brain haemorrhage in May 2008 he never fully recovered. He died on 25 August 2008 and was buried at Klaarland Priory on 2 September, after a funeral mass in Hasselt Cathedral.[1]
