There are also poor and marginalised people in the canton of Zurich! Our social services are aimed at them, because serving our community is our first and fundamental duty.
A carefree childhood and social contacts help young people to cope better with everyday life as adults. At home, they don’t always have these opportunities.
As a colourful Catholic church, we are a piece of home in a foreign country. This is the best foundation for successful integration. Countless initiatives enrich our togetherness.
On the way to a climate-neutral church, parishes, specialised agencies and the cantonal church should act sustainably. We promote climate protection and sustainability measures.
People are hungry for knowledge and are looking for answers to questions of meaning. We support and promote educational institutions, training and further education programmes and information events.
Clergy, pastoral workers and committed laypersons carry joint responsibility. Only consensual action will lead to viable decisions, which in turn will lead to well-run and sustainable services.
We help those who need it most. The Catholic Church in Zurich is investing around 50 million francs in welfare projects and organisations to support people in difficulty.
We are there where people seek us. We offer our time and a sympathetic ear to all those in need.
We accompany people through the highs and lows of life – from the first moment to the very last. The Catholic Church takes part in the important stages of people’s lives.
Our doors are open – to everyone and at all times. We create places where people come together and live as a community.
