President's Message

March 2020

Dear Holy Name Society Member,

On behalf of myself, Monsignor Romano, and the entire Board of Officers, we would like to inform you that in an abundance of caution and with recent event cancelations throughout New York City and the Tri-State area we postponed our 100 Annual Communion Breakfast. We all are experiencing difficulties and going through a tumultuous time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing is a new phrase that we are all trying to come to terms with. Services have been suspended and citizens told to work from home. We must not focus on the discomforts, instead use this time to show how resilient we are through our faith and as a people. Pray for our families, friends, co-workers, and everybody that is being affected by this pandemic. Deuteronomy 31:8 states “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” We are reminded that the LORD is with us and should not live in fear or be discouraged. Brighter days are ahead. We will once again welcome each other in our churches. We will be social without barriers. We will all get through this together! I look forward to seeing all of you at our future events!

Michael A. Ciota
President

Chaplain's Message

Easter 2020

Dear Holy Name Members,

Christ is Risen Alleluia! As we begin the Easter Season I want to wish you all a Blessed and Happy Easter. For the past Forty day of Lent we have prepared by acts of penance, charity and self-denial to celebrate the Paschal mystery. I hope that we have all become spiritually aware of God’s great love for us. To you and yours have a Happy Easter.

Monsignor Romano
Chaplain
