Last night, at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at my parish, the priest took the Blessed Sacrament to another tabernacle on a altar of respose set up near the narthex of the church. My question is, on Good Friday is the Blessed Sacrament taken out of the altar of respose and put somewhere else so there is no adoration?
 
In our parish, because the altar of repose is a temporary set-up, just outside the sanctuary, it’s always dismantled after midnight and the Blessed Sacrament removed to the sacristy safe.
 
Most parishes will remove It at midnight to a secure area. My parish has a tabernacle built into the wall of the sacristy for this purpose.

Yes. Or it might even be that all of the remaining Eucharist is consumed at the conclusion of the Good Friday Liturgy. One way or another the Eucharist is completely removed from the church until the Easter Vigil.
 
The Blessed Sacrament is locked in the sacristy safe in my experience at 2 churches.
