Church of the Redeemer

The Episcopal congregation consecrated its new church on May 18, 1892, in memory of the Reverend R. G. Hinsdale, with the bishops of Mississippi and Louisiana attending. Harry T. Howard gave both the land and the building. Rector Byron Holley, serving from 1917 to 1921, carried missions to Ocean Springs and Point Cadet. Camille damaged the church in 1969 and it was rebuilt. Katrina destroyed it in 2005, and a memorial to Camille was dedicated in 2007. In 2010 the parish sold its Baldwin Wood tract.
