I feel sure you'll find a Catholic church but, if not, I stayed near a lovely small church in Lauterbrunnen ("Kirche Lauterbrunnen") on Google maps.

There are several little churches in the beautiful village of Wengen. The one located near the Falken Hotel may be Catholic.

The Marienkapelle across from the Hotel Jungfrau in Murren is Catholic.

The nearest Catholic church offering mass is most likely in Interlaken. Maybe this website can help: https://www.catholicdirectory.com/switzerland. You may be in Wengen on the rare day Pauluskirche in Wengen is open for services. You should have better luck finding a Protestant church.
No mass for us on our Swiss trip last year.....

They do mass at the Catholic Church in Murren, but they post the times in person outside the church, so perhaps contact the tourist office at the Sportzentrum in Murren to see if they can give you current times. The church is active, as our chalet is across the street from it and I’ve witnessed weddings there and the bells ring there every day.

We stayed in Murren in late August for a week, and there was a Catholic Mass said at the local church. The priest was awesome and did some of the Mass in English. Otherwise, it was in German.

We’ve attended a Catholic mass at the little church in Murren several times. The last time we ran into two women we’d met on a previous RS tour. Small world!
