The fifth annual Good Friday experience will take place at noon April 7 under the Beebe Street Park Pavilion. Ceremonies are expected to last for a half-hour.

Dailey said the goal is to be as inclusive as possible while gathering for worship and music in an outdoor setting. As in the past, a “noisy” offering will be part of the event again this year. The noise in the tin is meant to symbolize the similar sound of Jesus Christ being nailed to the cross, Dailey said. It is short and to the point,” Dailey said. Those interested can contact Dailey at 586-202-8644 or attend on the day of the event and be included. Katie Dailey said services are kept short as many people begin their travel for the Easter holiday on Friday.

"To the drama of the war that has lasted for over 12 years in Syria, the strong seismic shocks added (to the) devastation caused by collapsed buildings," Archbishop Gugerotti wrote. Throughout the region, he said, the Franciscans "remain sources of hope by caring for the littlest ones, educating schoolchildren and youth, accompanying mothers in difficulty, attending to the elderly and the sick, as well as offering housing projects for new families and creating jobs," so that living Christian communities can remain in the places where Jesus and the apostles lived. The remaining 35% of the collection goes to the Dicastery for Eastern Churches and funds seminaries, advanced education for priests and nuns and Catholic schools in the Middle East, including Bethlehem University.

Good Friday Agreement: Gerry Adams praises David Trimble's ... (BBC News)

Former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has said he only recently realised how difficult it had been for the Ulster Unionist leader, David Trimble, ...

He was MP for West Belfast but did not take his seat in the House of Commons. He added: "The agreement wasn't a settlement. We're actually in a process of change." Asked if it could really have continued "forever", he replied: "Oh yes. It was an occupational hazard," he replied. "David (Trimble) wasn't talking to us. "It was alien in terms of its geography, and all of the symbols and emblems that surrounded the place and its history of course was woeful." "It's a rather complex agreement. The former Sinn Féin leader said: "We realised that the IRA could have continued for ever, because it had the base of support that it had, and it had obviously the capacity." I met him once in the men's room, and said hello to him and he told me to 'grow up'," said Mr Adams. Given the long history of Irish republican splits, Mr Adams was asked if he felt he had taken a personal risk in backing the agreement. Reflecting on this 25 years later, Mr Adams said: "Because we were so busy managing our own house, it was only when David Trimble died, and I saw some of the footage of him speaking at unionist meetings and other meetings with unionist folk, that I realised how brave he was in arguing as he was arguing."
