Good Friday Liturgy with the Veneration of the Cross
A service of reflection which begins in silence.
Good Friday is the day we remember the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
It is a sombre day where we meet, pray and reflect on the cost of the great sacrifice of love: Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God and redeemer of the world.
