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.
Our Image?
At an all-time low.
Our commitment?
Constantly high.
The Catholic Church is currently not in a good light. Our credibility is suffering under the burden of cover-ups and crimes. By consistently coming to terms with the past and carrying out intensive preventative work for the future, we are standing up for a transparent, equal and credible church. Despite our low image, our commitment to people remains high. With your church tax, we are committed to helping people wherever help is needed.
