I am searching for a Roman Catholic church in Lucerne. I am having trouble locating one. We will not be there until September, but I'm a planner. Anyone attend a Catholic Mass in Lucerne?
thanks! oh by the way.....is there a way to search for specific tops already discussed in the forums, other than just the country?

Have you tried g@@fling “Catholic Church in Lucerne”? I just and found several
AmandaR I did but when I went in to find Mass times on their websites, the ones I came across are definitely not Catholic. Google maps brings up some it calls catholic, but it's mislabeled for some reason. In the states I can use a few sites or apps and they're are legit. I had no problem finding them in France, but Switzerland seems to be a whole other deal.
I found a landing page for the Catholic churches in Lucerne:
To find the various churches: go to "Meine Kirche", then Pfarreien & Standorte, and it brings up a list for you to choose from. I couldn't bring up a page for all the churches that would stay without clicking on them. You might just work with a map, as there are about 10 churches. Please remember that the mass will likely be in German.
If you want to translate that page there is usually a translation tool set into your browser.

Lavandula thank you I will search there. I had found the website, but there was no pound sign at the end, that must be what I needed.
Good luck and enjoy your mass!

I was there a couple of years ago and attended Mass at the Jesuitenkirche
Luzern is a Catholic canton (this distinction is not as strong today as in the past, but cantons are traditionally either Catholic or Protestant, a few of them are mixed). Remember, Switzerland still has the state/church connection and most of the state churches are in the beautiful big old cathedrals.
Here is the link for the church mentioned by ezollner1 above.

You want to look under “Gottesdienste” (church services)
https://jesuitenkirche-luzern.ch/gottesdienste/
Here is a translation into English:
Services on
Sundays and Holidays
7:00 a.m. (no sermon)
10:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m.
Services on Weekdays
Mon, Thu 5:15 p.m.
Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat 7:00 a.m.
I don’t know if they will offer this, but when you arrive you can see if there is “Ubersetzung” (translation) into English.
We are traveling to Lucerne in September and this is what I've found from my research:
You can search CatholicMass times by date for the various parish churches at this website:
https://www.kathluzern.ch/gottesdienste?pfarrei=66&cHash=be828766989a439b8beebbee23df70f3 (I have Google translate it to English)
In addition, there is a Mass in English for the International/English Catholic community Saturday evenings at 5:30 PM. at St. Peter's Chapel. The other services at this chapel are not Roman Catholic. Info on the Saturday evening Mass can be found here: https://www.ceclu.ch/ This Mass also shows up in the search by date that I linked above.
