Holy Redeemer, Delmar

The priests of St. Francis De Sales in Salisbury began offering Mass weekly in a rented building in 1939 to serve our community. The following year saw the purchase of a property at Chestnut Street and Bi-State Boulevard for a future church. World War 2 impeded the construction project, but on May 22, 1949, the Most Reverend Edmond J. FitzMaurice, fourth Bishop of Wilmington, dedicated the Church of the Holy Redeemer, built with substantial help from the Catholic Extension Society. The relic in the altar is of Saint John Neumann and was given by Bishop Michael Hyle.

In the 1990s, a social hall was built at the church, and the church was made accessible to those with mobility impairments.
