TRUTH !!

As Good Friday is dedicated to the Passion and Death of Jesus and is a day of fasting, Catholics do not have mass on Good Friday. There are various church services, but no mass. The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is usually blessed at mass and distributed. On Good Friday, Holy Communion that has been blessed on the previous day, Holy Thursday, is used in situations where it is needed.
