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.
