    Hi! I would like to check if there are any catholic churches in Switzerland that holds church masses? I’m planning to attend ones on Sunday. If there are, could you share any location and time. Would be best if it’s suitable for a solo traveller. Thank you. 🙂

    There are Catholic churches throughout Switzerland, but they are more prominent in the majority Catholic areas. As far as I know all such churches will hold a Sunday mass

    However Switzerland was a centre of the reformation (Calvin etc) , so significant areas are majority non-Catholic – such as Cantons Geneva, Vaud and Neuchatel

    Hello bxrb9,

    I am unsure where you will be staying or visiting but perhaps the attached link will help:

    I hope this gets you started, if not, perhaps other members of the forum will be able to contribute.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
