Welcome!

Whether you are visiting from another parish, another city, another country or renewing your faith after an absence, we are pleased to have you visit our web site. We also hope you will be able to come and worship with us.                    

The English Speaking Roman Catholic Mission in Zurich has been worshipping in St Anton`s Swiss Catholic Parish, since 1962.

St Anton`s Church is a magnificent and beautiful building which in 2009 celebrated 100 years as a place of worship.

The ESCM serves all Catholics who speak English, live in Canton Zurich, and wish to pray and receive the Sacraments in the English language.

Thank you for visiting with us – whether in the church itself or on our web site.

We hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will join us again soon.

COLLECTIONS FEBRUARY 2020

1 + 2 – These collections are for the work and needs of our own Mission community – www.englishmission.ch

8 + 9 - These collections are for the iThembalethu Outreach Project in Wembezi, South Africa, where HIV/AIDS is one of the most devastating social disasters affecting communities, so much so that government health institutions are unable to cope with the ever-growing need and demand for services.  This project was established in 2008, in response to this, to help alleviate the suffering endured by people who are either infected or affected by the disease.  Quality care and support are provided also to orphans and vulnerable children in Wembezi and other surrounding communities.

15 + 16 – These collections are for the donation of the Catholics of Canton Zurich, which goes to the aid of the other, less-privileged and less affluent Cantons of our Chur diocese.

22 + 23 – These collections are for a charity project in Indonesia, and will be used to harvest rainwater and build clean water infrastructure in the inland area of Oksibil Mountain, Papua.  More information: https://www.facebook.com/WaterforPapua/
