Why is Good Friday mass at 3?
Catholic AnswerThere is no Mass on Good Friday, this is the one day of the year where Mass is never celebrated in the Catholic Church. There is a service at 3 pm because this is the time of day that Our Blessed Lord died, it used to be called the Mass of the Presanctified as the Hosts for Holy Communion were consecrated on Holy Thursday. The Good Friday Liturgy includes the reading of the Passion, the Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion, but no Mass.

What is the service of holy communion?
Technically, there is only one Communion Service called for in the Liturgy, and that is on Good Friday-the only day of the year when Holy Mass may NOT be celebrated. Holy Communion is given to the faithful from Hosts which have been consecrated on Holy Thursday at the Mass of the Lord's Supper. However, in areas experiencing a priest shortage, with the permission of the local Bishop a "Communion Service" may be celebrated by a duly appointed lay minister. At such a para-liturgy ("like" a liturgy, but not) a lay minister may lead the congregation in a penitential rite, read the readings, and then distribute Holy Communion from Hosts reserved in the Tabernacle. This is IN NO WAY to be construed as a "Mass" in any sense of the word, nor is it to be a regular occurrence. The rubrics that I know of specifically state that this may take the place of a Sunday Mass, in the sense, that if the Bishop approves, those attending are excused from their duty to attend Mass on that day. The current Rubrics of the Latin Rite (2013) FORBID such a service to occur on a weekday or substitute for a regular Mass in any way outside of that specifically allowed by the Bishop to substitute on a Sunday or other Holy Day on which Mass attendance is required.
