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 MARCH 2019

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

9^th + 10^th – Camillian Sisters, 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/

16^th + 17^th – Irtysh Valley Project, to help poor families with children, belonging to the parish of St. Teresa in Pavlodar Province, in the Valley of the Irtysh River, North-East Kazakhstan.  Our donation will help provide Winter clothes, school starter kits, firewood and coal for heating, as well as food.

23^rd + 24^th – Fastenopfer 2019.  Bread for all, Fastenopfer and later partners have been committed to the Ecumenical campaign for a fairer world for 50 years. Commitment to human rights and human dignity is a recurring theme throughout the campaigns of recent decades.  This is also the case in the 2019 anniversary campaign, where strengthening women's rights is the central concern.  https://fastenopfer.ch/

30^th + 31^st – This weekend’s collections are requested by Catherine Tran Thi Tham, Superior of the Convent of the Lovers of the Holy Cross of Huong Dao, Phat Diem diocese, Viet Nam.  She asks us to help two girls in very miserable situations, born completely paralysed.  To take care of them has been so far a real burden physically and financially for their poor families. Until now, the local government has only given their families very little financial supports.  Please be generous in your help.  Thank you.
