Gardening at St. Andrew’s Church
Pope Francis asked Catholics to care for the Earth this year. St. Andrew’s heard the message and responded.
The Care for Creation ministry doesn’t just remember the Earth on one day.
This year, during Laudato Si’ Week, the group will dedicate a St. Kateri habitat named in honor of the patron saint of the environment, Saint Kateri.
The habitat has to have flowers that attract pollinators, no chemicals can be used and there has to be a religious aspect.

Bay Ridge – Did You Receive the Notice About City of Yes Meeting on June 4th at FHHS?
On June 4th, Community Board 10 is having a meeting at 7:00 pm on The City of Yes Housing Opportunity Text Amendment, which will change the zoning in our community.
We did not receive the letter above. Did you?
Sadly, Senator Andrew Gounardes has pushed the City of Yes, but have never shared any information with our community. (Info here)
Gounardes sat quietly at the last City of Yes Meeting at St. Anselm. He did not speak or offer any information. After the meeting, Andrew Gounardes failed to shared information about the City of Yes in his social media or in mailings. Gounardes has not held a townhall meeting in years. At the last townhall, he promised action on the trucks on Poly Place, but failed to follow through.
So come to this meeting at Fort Hamilton High School on June 4th and share how you feel about accessory dwellings.
Community Board 10 finally made a graphic to share information about the meeting online.
They wrote: Community Board 10 Zoning and Land Use Committee invites you to attend a Public Informational Meeting to learn about the Citywide Zoning Text Amendment City of Yes for Housing Opportunity on Tuesday, June 4th at 7pm – Fort Hamilton High School Auditorium 8301 Shore Road – enter on Narrows Avenue at 85th Street.
Councilman Brannan will be voting on this in the Fall.

CB 10 – When Did Loading Zones Become Placard Parking Spots in Bay Ridge?
The loading zone outside of Starbucks on 3rd Avenue and 92nd Street isn’t just for trucks loading items, as Community Board 10 told us it would be.
If you have a placard, you can pop that in your front window and go eat breakfast at Paneantico, like this entitled individual.
It’s a free parking spot for some.
Why did Community Board 10 add all of these loading zones after Justin Brannan was lobbied over them? (Info here)
How do we get rid of the ones which are being abused?

Put Up a Rainbow in Bay Ridge for Pride Month
There are ten days left until June, when Pride month begins.
Three years ago, a member of GayRidge counted all the Pride flags in Bay Ridge and there were hardly any. They shared that less than 1% of businesses in Bay Ridge displayed a pride flag.
This past year, two pride flags were burned in Bay Ridge. Senator Andrew Gounardes didn’t take action and replace the flags in our community.
Councilman Brannan spoke to the newspaper, but he didn’t replace the flag either – the haters won and got rid of the pride flags. (See here)
Sadly, one of the co-directors of GayRidge told the newspaper:
We have to do better Bay Ridge!
On the Shore Road bike path is a rainbow bench dedicated to a teen our community lost in 2020.
If you knew you could send a message of acceptance to teens who haven’t felt accepted, wouldn’t you?
Did you know that in NYC, the rate of attempted suicide was 32% among NYC youth who have been bullied on school grounds in the past 12 months and identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or were not sure of their sexual identity. (Source)
