Good Friday

No Mass is celebrated today: our services resume from the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper, with Holy Communion distributed from hosts consecrated yesterday. The altar is bare, the service begins in silence. Today, we recall Our Lord’s Passion and Death. We hear the lament of Psalm 31, “Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit,” and read the Passion Gospel according to St. John. We venerate the Holy Cross and depart in silence. The service at the Cathedral begins at 3:00 p.m., in the main church. There is no 12:05 p.m. Mass or evening Stations of the Cross.
