16.12.2025, Under the Motto 'Let Us Send a Joyful Message to Bethlehem,' the Swiss Bishops' Conference Calls on All Catholic Parishes to Participate in This Year's Christmas Collection. The Donations Will Benefit the Caritas Baby Hospital in Bethlehem.
For decades, the Christmas collection of the Catholic parishes in Switzerland has been a strong sign of living solidarity with the children in the Holy Land. Each year, the collection makes a significant contribution to the Caritas Baby Hospital in Bethlehem.
The donations support the medical care of children – regardless of their origin or religion. While we celebrate the holiday in peace in Switzerland, the collection is a reminder that in Bethlehem, many children are in urgent need of help.
Here's how you can help: The Christmas collection takes place in all Catholic parishes in Switzerland during the Christmas services. Every donation helps to bring hope and healing to sick children.
