Pretty church, but for some reason I got the Mass time wrong. I don't remember how that happened,…read morebut I was going for the first Sunday Mass, which I thought was at 7AM. It wasn't. First Mass on Sunday is at 9AM. For other Mass times, see my picture. So now I'm left with a decision. I can wait 2 hours, I can skip Mass (which would not bode well with my wife), or I can see if there is another Catholic Church nearby. Turns out there is another Church. Holy Trinity by the Sea is 12.6 miles away, and a 20 minute drive. So rather than hanging out in the parking lot (the church doors were still locked at 6:45 AM), I decided to see more of the OBX and drive down to Nags Head. So if you are reading this, check your times. If you want to see my review for Holy Trinity by the Sea, you can find it here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/holy-trinity-by-the-sea-nags-head Bottom line: A rather interesting location with plenty of parking. Peace be with you!

I always think of going to church sort of like going to McDonald's. You expect an almost total…read moreuniformity where everyone is doing the same thing everywhere but every now and then you can get surprised by what you experience when you go somewhere different. Let me just start by saying that unlike a lot of churches Holy Redeemer is not exactly much of a looker. It looks like it was built at some point within the last thirty years where buildings became more about functionality then about some type of grand outward appearance. The inside is very nice with everything being in a semi-circle format versus the more traditional rectangular format. The mass itself was fantastic. Father Walsh is very warm and personable and does something that I can't say I've seen anywhere else. Before each reading and The Gospel he gets up and explains the important points of what is about to be read. Although it is weird to see that neither Father nor anyone else bow when crossing in front of the altar or that they still use the version of The Creed that refers to Jesus descending into Hell. Can't say I've heard that version is a looong time. Musically there was a small choir and the songs were played some on the organ and some on piano. Depending where you are at in OBX this is going to be your only place to get your Jesus on while on vacation. If you're in the extreme southern half there is another parish all the way down in Hatteras but aside of that it's either Kitty Hawk or Nags Head or hike it out to Elizabeth City. Overall everything was very nice and with the Mass being well attended along with a great homily from Father Walsh.

However, the women twirling in the front of the church with brightly colored cloths was a little unusual compared to what we are used to.
