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 --
Holy Thursday at Our Lady Queen of Peace March 28, 2024. The Paschal Triduum, the “Great Three Days,” began (and Lent ended) with the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper tonight. Fr Yusko was the celebrant. It was a beautiful service. Below are a few pictures from Holy Thursday
