Dear Friends,
Following the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Directives, we are able to begin to resume activities that we did prior to the pandemic.
Thankfully, this includes our life of the worship of our God within our parish and the celebration of the Sacraments.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, tolerance and kindness during these difficult times.
We are now permitted to return to a 100% capacity in our church. However, some social distancing should remain in place as best as possible for the sake of those who have not been vaccinated or whose health may be compromised. Our concern should always be the health and safety of our fellow parishioners here at St. Gertrude’s.
I would ask your continued patience and charity toward each other as circumstances develop.
Parishioners who are unvaccinated or whose health may be compromised as well as those who have continued concerns should continue to wear a mask.
The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation Masses remain in effect. The Bishops of the New York State Province continue to monitor this situation. However, I encourage all of our parishioners to consider returning to an active in person participation at Mass and other parish activities following the guidelines set by the CDC and NY State.
These have been difficult times and yet I continue to be inspired and supported by the faith and commitment of our parishioners here in Bayville. May I express my happiness and gratitude to be able to serve here as your pastor.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Rev. Msgr. Robert O. Morrissey
