My husband and I were searching for a church since we moved here, 22 years ago…read more We knew we were home after the first service we attended. We felt so welcome and were blown away by the genuine warmth of the pastor and the people! We were also so impressed, by the church's goal to help make life better for everyone in Sussex County, through service, equity and justice for all!

He took his time when doing the arrangements. When it came time for the immediate family to view the body he answered all questions and never made us felt rushed. I would definitely recommend Melson Funeral home.

Here's a fun math problem: if there's five aisles, seven eucharistic ministers, two random seating…read moreareas in the back and about a dozen people standing along the wall, how many different communion patterns can they come up with? Answer: a different one every weekend. The place is always packed (mostly older people). Even if you show up 5-10 minutes early it still might be a struggle to find a seat. They've had some very nice visiting priests recently that give good homilies. I'm a visitor but a pretty consistent one, so I've been here a lot but it's not like I've been part of the parish for years. Everything related to logistics is a mess. The parking situation in the back will make you need to go to confession. If you're able to walk or ride a bike that's the best option. I already mentioned the very strange communion patterns but I hope someone reads this review and thinks about adding some consistency.

This parish is comprised of two churches…read more 1. The older St. Mary Star of the Sea which dates back to 1877. 2. The "newer" Holy Savior which opened in 1954 but was renovated to its current look in '67-'68. Below is a great site that has the entire history of how both churches came into existence: www.ocmuseum.org/index.php/site/oc-history_article/saint_mary_star_of_the_sea I would have liked to have seen the inside of St. Mary but with only one mass a week offered there at the barbaric hour of Sunday at 7am I knew that wasn't happened so we settled for the 8:30 at Holy Savior. Nice inside with large portraits of various saints on the walls and the all piano/no organ mass was nice as I'll take anything musically that is remotely different. Speaking of different, the layout of the altar area is unusual where lector is on one side, the priest sits on the other side by another lectern, the altar servers sit a good distance back from the priest near another lectern which the cantor uses and the tabernacle is a good hike all the way at the rear of the church. Also a neat twist is that Father Stan uses a wireless throughout the mass so that during the homily he is mobile to walk/stalk/pace. His homily was fairly lengthy but was also interesting about family even though the children blacked out after a while. Hopefully on our next visit there is a more convenient mass time at St. Mary or hopefully I can blast myself out of bed pre-7am but either we'll be back here next time we're in town.
