April 7th, 2023, Good Friday

Hello.

We sing at the Good Friday Service, this Friday, April 7th.  Good Friday is the only day of the year on which Mass is not celebrated.  Good Friday's liturgy consists of the Liturgy of the Word, general intercessions, veneration of the cross and a communion service.

We will gather at 1 PM, Friday afternoon to get organized for the practice, and then begin rehearsal at 1:15 AM, and end no later than 2:15 PM.  Fr. Moses will be leading the Stations of the Cross before the service, beginning at 2:15 PM.

If you'd like to get more background on Good Friday, and Holy Week in general, check out this resource on the CCCB website - https://www.cccb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Holy-Week.pdf.

Christ became obedient for us to death, even death on a Cross.
Therefore God exalted him and gave him the name above every name.

Fr. Moses will intone "Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the salvation of the world."
The assembly will reply "Come, let us adore."
