Rooted in Christ
Prayer, worship and formation give the association its centre. The website explains the organisation’s purpose; it does not replace parish life, sacramental practice or competent ecclesiastical authority.
A living faith,
handed on.
Faith is learned, lived and shared through prayer, friendship, knowledge and service.
Our mission
Swiss Catholic Youth seeks to accompany young people in Catholic faith, build durable friendship, encourage responsible service and preserve cultural inheritance without claiming authority it has not received.
Friendship with responsibility
Local life should be voluntary, transparent and attentive to safeguarding, privacy and the dignity of every participant.
Work for the common good
Education, culture, charity and practical initiative belong together when they are carried out lawfully and with accountable leadership.
Responsibility before visibility
No leadership claims without confirmation.
Names, offices, ecclesiastical relationships, partner organisations and legal status are published only after they are verified and approved for public use.
Current public position
This platform presents an organisational foundation and verified public resources. It does not imply official recognition by the Catholic Church, a canton or the Swiss Confederation.
How we work
National divisions support formation, publications, culture, charity, administration and regional coordination. Regional structures exist to support local activity; they are not claims of political territory or ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
