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.

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

Dear Members of the Brooklyn Queens Holy Name Society,
As the crisp air of fall settles in and the vibrant colors of the season surround us, I want to take a moment to reflect on the blessings we’ve received and the work we continue to do as a community of faith and service.
With Veterans Day approaching, we honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Their sacrifices and dedication remind us of the true meaning of service, and I encourage all of us to take a moment to offer our gratitude to our fellow members and all veterans who have given so much for our freedom.
As we move into Thanksgiving, let us give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy—our families, our health, and the strength of our brotherhood within the Holy Name Society. This season reminds us of the importance of gratitude, and I encourage each of you to reflect on how we can continue to support one another and uplift our communities through acts of kindness and service.
Finally, as we prepare for Christmas, we are reminded of the hope, love, and joy that this holy season brings. It’s a time to renew our faith, celebrate the birth of Christ, and extend compassion and generosity to those around us. I pray that this Christmas season will be filled with peace and blessings for you and your families, and that it will serve as a reminder of the importance of living out the values of our faith every day.
In closing, I want to thank you for your continued dedication and service. The integrity and commitment you bring to the NYPD and to our society are truly inspiring. Let’s carry the spirit of these holidays with us throughout the season and into the new year, as we continue to live out our mission of charity, unity, and respect.
May God bless you, your families, and our fellow members this fall, and through the upcoming holidays.
Fraternally,
Sgt. Michael A. Ciota
President
NYPD Brooklyn Queens Holy Name Society
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.

We cannot thank you all enough and salute each and every one of you.
