Saint Michael the Archangel

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 – Thanksgiving • Christmas • New Year


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As we enter the holiday season, I extend my sincere appreciation to all members of the Brooklyn–Queens Holy Name Society. This time of year invites us to reflect on the many blessings granted to us by God—our families, our health, our faith, and the fellowship we share within this Society.

To all active and retired members of the NYPD, thank you for your continued service and devotion. Your commitment to safeguarding our city while upholding the Holy Name of Jesus is a testament to your character, resilience, and faith. May God watch over you and your families during this season and throughout the year ahead.

Sgt. Michael Ciota, President

As we gather for Thanksgiving, let us remember to express gratitude not only for what we have, but for the people who enrich our lives—our loved ones, our colleagues, and our Holy Name community.

As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, may the birth of our Savior bring renewed hope, peace, and spiritual strength. May the light of Christ guide our words, actions, and service to others.

As we look toward the New Year, let us reaffirm our mission to honor the Holy Name, support one another, and foster unity rooted in faith and service. May the coming year be one of continued health, safety, and spiritual growth for all.

This season also marks a meaningful moment in my personal journey with the Society. After six years of service, this will be my final year as President of the Brooklyn–Queens Holy Name Society. It has been a privilege to serve our membership and to advance the mission of this distinguished organization.

I am pleased to announce that Police Officer Thomas Dugan will assume the role of President in the New Year. Officer Dugan has consistently demonstrated exemplary character, strong leadership, and deep commitment to the ideals of the Holy Name. I am confident that he will continue to guide the Society with dedication and integrity.

On behalf of the Executive Board, I wish you and your families a blessed Thanksgiving, a holy and joyful Christmas, and a safe and healthy New Year.

God bless you, and God bless the New York City Police Department.

Sergeant Michael Ciota
President, NYPD Brooklyn–Queens Holy Name Society

Chaplain's Message

Monsignor Romano

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.

Monsignor Romano
Chaplain
