Holy Name Society

Brooklyn And Queens

Police Department City of New York


The Brooklyn-Queens Holy Name Society is composed of Uniform members of the Service who work in the Patrol Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.

Our primary goal is to administer to the spiritual needs of our members. In addition, we strongly encourage members to practice their faith by frequent reception of the sacraments.

Holy Name Society Honors One of its Own

The most emotional embodiment of the themes of faith and family came at the end of the NYPD Brooklyn and Queens Holy Name Society’s 102nd Communion Breakfast on March 10. That’s when the family of retired Sgt. Paul Hargrove received a standing ovation after accepting the newly named award in his honor just days after the 77-year-old succumbed to 9/11-related cancer.

Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all evil spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen

President's Message


Dear Holy Name Member,

I hope everyone is having a Blessed Summer as we are quickly approaching the beginning of the fall season. As the BBQs, pools, beaches, and parks will be closing up soon until next season, let's be thankful for all those who have made the summer season joyful! We are coming up to the last Holiday of the season, Labor Day, and then we will start getting ready for the Fall Holidays. Before we officially let go of the warm weather, we have two major events, our Golf Outing on Thursday, October 3, 2024, that supports our Scholarship Fund, and our group trip to the Notre Dame vs. Navy Football Game at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, October 26, 2024. Foursomes for the Golf Outing and a Limited number of tickets for the Football game are available. If you want to attend either event, see your Holy Name Delegate as Foursome slots and Tickets to the Game are filling fast. Enjoy these last few weeks of summer, stay safe, God Bless Everyone and God Bless the NYPD!

Fraternally,
Michael A. Ciota
President

Sgt. Michael Ciota, President

Fall

Dear Holy Name Members,

As we enter the season of fall, many people enjoy the change of the color of the scenery around us. Some find it a hard time because of the clocks being changed and the loss of the leaves on the trees.

Fall is a time to remember. All Saints Day, All Souls Day and Veterans Day are all opportunities to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us.

As Catholics and Police Officers, we remember very well. We never forget our brothers and sisters who have been taken from us.

Fall is also a time to give thanks on Thanksgiving Day. We give thanks not only for the turkey and the trimmings but also for the people around our table and for those who no longer sit beside us. Never forget to be thankful. I will remember you and your families at the altar as I celebrate my Thanksgiving Day Mass.
