Holy Redeemer By the
Sea is a
diverse Catholic Community that welcomes our
visitors, serves all God's Children and gathers to
worship with our Faith Community.
Empowered by
the teachings of Jesus Christ and enriched by the
spirituality of St. Francis DeSales, the Parish of
Holy Redeemer by the Sea reaches out to many diverse
groups within the greater community of the Outer
Banks.
We are committed to serve
to the best of our abilities the needs of all in our community, in particular: the needy, the old, the infirm, and the marginalized. We
continue to develop and implement various programs to accomplish this vision.

Our Parish Community
fosters a greater reverence for the Eucharist and other Sacraments, providing a welcoming environment for all believers.
Acting in the Name of Jesus Ministry
is acting in the Name of Jesus. When all our actions are
in the Name, they will bear fruit for eternal life. To
act in the Name of Jesus, however, doesn't mean to act
as a representative of Jesus or his spokesperson. It
means to act in an intimate communion with him. The Name
is like a house, a tent, a dwelling. To act in the Name
of Jesus, therefore, means to act from the place where
we are united with Jesus in love. To the question "Where
are you?" we should be able to answer, "I am in the
Name." Then, whatever we do cannot be other than
ministry because it will always be Jesus himself who
acts in and through us. The final question for all who
minister is "Are you in the Name of Jesus?" When we can
say yes to that, all of our lives will be ministry.
