There is only one day in the entire year when the Roman
Catholic Church does not celebrate Mass. At first this may seem surprising. If
Good Friday commemorates the death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, why
would the Church refrain from celebrating the Eucharist, especially since:
‘For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes’. (1 Cor 11:26)
