**63. The celebration of the Lord’s passion is to take place in the afternoon, at about three o’clock. For pastoral reasons, an appropriate time will be chosen in order to allow the people to assemble more easily, for example, shortly after midday or in the late evening, however not later than nine o’clock. [67]**

Does this happen at your church, or is the service held at other times. For example, we have one at noon, at 7:00, both English, and one at 8:00 for Spanish.

Catholic Ping!

Years ago most churches had Good Friday services. Even where I worked we got a half day off with pay because so many people left anyway to go to church.
Are the Catholics the only ones left who hold services on Good Friday?

Our parish in Louisville has one service on Good Friday - at 3:00. Went to Holy Thursday Mass this evening - it was the first time in 14 years that I did not have a son who was an altar server. The mass was absolutely beautiful.....
