​
Good Friday March 29, 2024. Fr Yusko was the celebrant. Good Friday is a day Christians regard as the day Jesus was crucified. It is a day that leads up to Easter Sunday when Jesus was resurrected.
Behold the wood of the cross -- This was a very moving service - the choir contributed so much to the beauty of the Celebration of the Passion of the Lord. Fr Yusko's homily was memorable. It was a beautiful evening.

Below are a few pictures from Good Friday --
