The postal address of Resurrection parish is 2331 Gerritsen Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11229, telephone 718-743-7234. The photo shows the church facing Gerritsen Avenue, with the intersection of Whitney Avenue at the right. To the left is the former school and, left of that, the rectory. The parish apparently has no website, but an unofficial Facebook page is linked HERE.
Above is the Mass schedule as of September, 2011.
The rectory is to the left, a school to the right. For decades, Dominican Sisters taught in the school. The rectory is a former convent built in the late 1950's.

The parish was founded in 1924. A photo of the interior of the church appears on Flickr, linked here. The website Gerritsen Memories offers some history and many photos of the parish and its school. The adjacent parish 0.6 mile north is Good Shepherd, with a parish school.
-----
The Wikipedia article on Gerritsen Beach states that the parish school closed in 2005.

Gerritsen Avenue and the community of Gerritsen Beach extend another mile southeast through the peninsula before reaching the point. Bus route B31 connects this community with the Brighton Line at Kings Highway Station.
