The Croatian Catholic Mission in the Swiss city of Bern celebrates its annual festival on the second Sunday in September. The mission was founded on 18 February 1973. A Catholic mass was celebrated at the Holy Trinity church, led by diocesan vicar of the Basel diocese Georges Schwickerath, joined in concelebration by missionary friar Gojko Zovko and Swiss Benedictine monk Markus Bär.
The ethnic Croatians affiliated with the Roman Catholic church living in the Bern canton celebrate masses in six cities but gather at one location for the annual festival. The traditional gathering includes a mass followed by socialising with a barbeque, music and folklore performances. The pandemic coronavirus fears have seen some of the programme cancelled this year.
