All Masses have us united under one roof. At All Saints, the joyful sounds of children at Mass are evidence of a vibrant parish. While we do not have childcare during Mass at this time, we do have several spaces that make it easier to manage little ones.
The large classroom serves as overflow space for Mass; there are often coloring supplies in a basket up front and children’s books on the library shelves in the hallway. This is a bit more casual of a space and comfortable for anyone concerned about distracting others during Mass.
Seating in the Narthex is often adjacent to open doors, allowing for getting up and down during Mass.
Our courtyard space is often accompanied by the sounds from Mass.
We hope this is some help to you. Come, bring all your joyful noise!

All Saints in Surf City is a charming little mission church by the sea. The first Mass was celebrated on August 23, 1953 by Fr. Roland Gross, OFM Conv. The original building was a WWII barracks, now adjacent to the pavilion-style church. All Saints Surf City was formerly called St. Mary Gate of Heaven and has been a “mission church” of St. Joseph in Burgaw, St. Stanislaus in Castle Hayne, and All Saints (formerly St. Jude the Apostle) in Hampstead. It remains an important summer ministry location, where the sacred sound of prayer and music blends with the sound of the ocean just beyond the dunes.
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people.
Our Vision:
We aspire to be a welcoming community of faith where: Parishioners and newcomers feel enlivened, engaged, and spiritually nourished as we grow as disciples to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. (Ephesians 4:1)
Our Mission:
Together with our Lord Jesus Christ, and in grateful acknowledgement of God's gifts to us, we are committed to love God, to love others, and to make disciples.
Faith. Stewards. Community.
Join us in October as we examine Henri Nouwen's book "The Way of the Heart" during a short 4-week study, where we will discuss solitude, silence and prayer. Finding inner peace in today's demanding world, a place for purification and transformation. Understand the author's way to cast off darkness, greed, ego and anger and replace with love, compassion and peace. Please purchase the book and read the first 32 pages before our first session. We hope to see you there!
