Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion

Today we commemorate our Lord’s suffering and death on the cross: his sacrifice for us, so that we might have eternal life.

Join the Diocese of Bridgeport to observe Good Friday! Please find below a list of Good Friday services which will be celebrated throughout the Diocese of Bridgeport.

Additionally, there will be two Stations of the Cross processions on Good Friday. One procession, with Bishop Caggiano, will begin at St. Mary Parish, 25 Sherman Street in Bridgeport, at 10 am. The other will take place in Stamford, and will begin at the Soundview side of Cummings Park at 10 am, ending at St. Mary Parish in Stamford.

All services will be celebrated in English unless otherwise noted. Special liturgies (ie: Family Masses, Solemn Masses, etc.) are also indicated.

We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones this Holy Thursday!
