Holy Savior, Linwood

Another parish appeals its closing. A letter to the archbishop is here. They have started a blog here. This is their Facebook page.

Mission Statement

Why was the school closing campaign launched and why is the parish closing campaign causing such problems? Three reasons, I think:

• Bureaucrats can become enthusiastic about a large project, even when the project does not advance the organization’s purpose.

• The archdiocesan employees behind the plan prefer social work/lay leadership/huggy-talky religion to traditional Catholicism.

• There seems to be a cultural disconnect between the planners and working class Catholics.

This blog is my attempt to provide evidence for those conclusions.
