WHAT has probably become the Annual Live Good Friday Service will become a reality again this year with the assistance of our friends at Dave’s Television Channel Eight in New Amsterdam. The Commemoration of the Lord’s Passion will be broadcast live from the Church of the Ascension next Friday at 15:00 hrs. The broadcast was first aired last Good Friday and Berbicians were able to see what really happens in the Catholic Good Friday Service. Some related they never knew Holy Communion was distributed on that day and others expressed their awe and devout feelings that were evoked when it came to the part of the service when the Cross was venerated.

Special thanks to the entire management and staff of DTV-8 who worked very hard last year to pull off the live telecast. Live programmes, especially when held out of a television studio, is no easy feat. It takes planning, coordination and lots of patience on the crew’s part. DTV- 8 has become very experienced in hosting Live outdoor broadcasts over the years; the first being broadcasted from the New Amsterdam Town Hall many years ago.

All are invited to tune in at 15:00 hrs on Good Friday for the Live broadcast, but that is no excuse to stay home from church on that special day for Christians.
