to Receive all as christ
WELCOME BACK!
Dear Friends,
As you already have been experiencing, following the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Directives, we have begun 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. As we return to church, our concern continues to 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 remains in effect throughout the summer.
The lifting of the dispensation to attend Sunday and Holy Day Masses will take place on Sunday, August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Even though the dispensation remains in effect until August 15th, 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
