This site was initiated by Caitlin Devine (nee Logue), a lifelong parishioner of Our Holy Redeemer’s, in response to growing concern about the future of the parish and a desire to see it given a fair and hopeful path forward.

After many years of asking to support parish life in practical ways, it became clear that there was a lack of coordinated leadership focused specifically on sustaining and renewing Our Holy Redeemer’s. When it was suggested that OHR could become a secondary church within a merged parish arrangement, Caitlin felt that the time had come to step forward and act.

Although not raised in Clydebank herself, both of Caitlin’s parents were brought up there. Her family has long-standing ties to Our Holy Redeemer’s: her great-grandfather was among the Irish settler families who helped raise funds to build Our Holy Redeemer’s Primary School, reflecting the deep roots many families still feel today.

Our Holy Redeemer’s has been a constant presence throughout Caitlin’s life. With her father serving as the parish organist, attending Mass each Sunday was not only an act of faith but a way of belonging to the wider community. She was baptised here and married in the church, and continues to sing regularly at Sunday Mass and parish occasions.

This initiative is driven by a simple conviction: that Our Holy Redeemer’s is not just a historic building, but a living parish with a future — one worth stewarding carefully for the generations yet to come. While this work has begun with one person, it is rooted in the belief that parish life is strengthened when people step forward in faith, responsibility, and hope.
