Our Lady of the Seas Catholic Church

About this church

Our Lady of the Seas Catholic Church in Buxton celebrates a 5:30 p.m. Saturday vigil and a 9 a.m. Sunday Mass that is livestreamed. Spanish Mass is at 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Sundays. Weekday Mass meets at 9 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, with first-Friday Mass, Adoration, and a Holy Hour at 9. Reconciliation is available Saturday from 5 to 5:20, before or after any Mass, or by appointment. The parish also serves Stella Maris Chapel on Ocracoke on first and third Sundays at 5:30 p.m.

This is a small Catholic community on Hatteras Island, about 30 miles off the North Carolina coast along the Outer Banks. Its welcome specifically includes full- and part-time residents, property owners, annual vacationers, and travelers staying for anything from an hour to a lifetime. That makes the parish unusually attentive to visitors whose plans may be shaped by ferry, weather, or vacation schedules. Recent livestreamed liturgies remain archived, allowing travelers to preview worship or participate when conditions interrupt a trip. Because priest availability can change island Mass times, anyone traveling from elsewhere on Hatteras or Ocracoke should confirm the current Buxton or chapel listing the same day.
