St. Andrew Church, Catholic church with modern design in Uster, Switzerland.

St. Andrew Church is a concrete building with clean lines and geometric forms that blend contemporary design with functional spaces. Large windows flood the interior with natural light and create distinct areas for services, prayer, and community events.

The parish began as a mission station in 1876, when the first post-Reformation Catholic service in Uster was held on 11 June before 150 faithful. It became an independent parish in 1884. The neo-Gothic church, consecrated on 5 January 1884, was dedicated to the Sacred Heart and secondly to St. Andrew; the tower was completed in 1890.

This church serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community to celebrate Mass and participate in parish activities. You will find people coming together regularly to practice their faith in the German-speaking tradition of the region.

The church stands on Neuwiesenstrasse in Uster's town centre, within walking distance of the railway station.
