It is, in the so-called Mass of the Pre-Sanctified. Good Friday marks the human Death of Christ- so some memorial type thing is required, it is the apex of Lent. Every Catholic church has lengthy =three hour usually Good Friday rituals- that focus on the last words of Christ- and are not Masses in the normal sense but important nonethelss. curiously Good Friday is NOT a Holiday of obligation- though the Fast from Meats certainly is.

It would be more accurate to say that they commemorate it, rather than celebrate it. It is not a happy day. It is a solemn day. It is important to Catholics, and they do attend church services on Good Friday.

Catholic AnswerNo, Good Friday is the one day of the year on which Mass is never celebrated. The Liturgy on that day was commonly called "The Mass of the pre-Sanctified" as Holy Communion is distributed from Hosts that are consecrated on Holy Thursday. The Church goes through a period during Lent where she loses more and more things: singing, flowers, the Gloria, the Alleluia, bells, the organ, so that by Good Friday, we even lose the Mass itself and are in complete mourning for our Blessed Savior.

The Good Friday liturgy begins with the clergy coming into the Church and fully prostrated themselves before the Crucifix. Then follows the readings and the intercessions. The intercessions are special on Good Friday, and much more involved than usual, there is a set formula in the Missal, after that, there is public veneration of the cross (I think I have these two in the right order, but they may be backwards) when each individual in the Church has a change to come forward and kiss the Crucifix. They there is an abbreviated Holy Communion service with the Our Father and Holy Communion is distributed from what was reserved the previous day.
