Good Friday indoors and outdoors at St. Joseph in Libertyville

As another sign of parishes adapting during the pandemic, St. Joseph Parish in Libertyville held Good Friday celebrations of the Lord’s Passion both inside and outside to accommodate worshippers on April 2, 2021. The parish has offered car Masses each week for those parishioners uncomfortable attending in-person services.
