🚨 URGENT ACTION NEEDED: SEND AN EMAIL, NO.s COUNT 🚨
The fight to protect Our Holy Redeemer’s has reached a critical stage. I have officially submitted a formal appeal to the Vatican, but NUMBERS COUNT. We need the Church authorities to see that our community is united and will not stand by while our parish identity is stripped away.
PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES TO SEND THIS EMAIL TODAY.
Every single message tells the Vatican and the Archbishop that OHR is a living, breathing community—not just a line on a spreadsheet.

SUBJECT: Request for Review — Our Holy Redeemer’s, Clydebank
Your Eminence / Your Grace,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed merger of Our Holy Redeemer’s and Saint Margaret’s parishes in Clydebank.
Our Holy Redeemer’s Church has deep spiritual, historical, and community significance. For me personally, this church is important because... [ADD YOUR PERSONAL REASON HERE: e.g., "my family has been here for 4 generations," "I was married here," "it is the only accessible church for my elderly parents."]
Many of us are worried that reducing its status is a step toward closure, which would be a devastating loss for Clydebank.
I respectfully ask that the merger be paused and carefully reviewed, taking into account the pastoral impact on the community and the strong support for preserving Our Holy Redeemer’s.
Yours faithfully in Christ,
[Your Name]
[Town / Country]
🙏 WHY THIS MATTERS:
The Archdiocese claims OHR has no new housing and no bus links. We know that’s not true. We need to show them that this parish is VITAL, ACCESSIBLE, and LOVED.
Please share this post with your family, your neighbors, and anyone who has a connection to OHR. Together, our voices are stronger.
