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 in February 2019

2^nd + 3^rd – These collections are forthe work and needs of our own Mission community - www.englishmission.ch

9^th + 10^th – For the Camillians, Ministers of the Infirm, in Georgia.  Their project is to build the "Gran Talitha Kum" Rehabilitation Centre in the city of Akhaltzikhe, in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region.  The decision to build this new centre here, where there is a lack of rehabilitation services, is strategic because of the catchment area, which would include patients from Southern Georgia and Northern Armenia.   http://www.camilliani.org/en/newsletter-n-26-the-world-of-the-camillians-seen-frome-rome-and-rome-seen-from-the-world/
