''My father was based in Ocracoke in WWII. My mother took the train from Ohio and they were married in the church. They lived above the general store in Ocracoke, until my father was sent to the Phillipines. He was a Beachjumper in the Navy and they trained under the cover of darkness on the island....''

''The large window at the front of the church is the first thing I noticed when I walked through the door. It provided a stunning view of the water and the people are very kind. Even though the priest was a visiting priest, his homily was wonderful. We felt like a part of this church even though we were visiting. We look forward to visiting Our Lady of the Sea when we visit the Outerbanks next week....''

''This church reaches out to all people who may be interested in begining or continuing their Christian life. A traditional service is at 10 am on Sundays, and a contemporary service is at 7:30 pm on Sundays. The message is inspiring, the music is uplifting, the congregation is friendly. All are welcome!...''
