St_Hilary:
You are correct.

After Good Friday the altar is stripped and on the Vigil the Blessed Sacrament in placed in the tabernacle prior to the beginning of the liturgy;

God bless you now
 
Aren’t all Eucharistic species supposed to be consumed by Black Saturday?

No. At the very least, there has to be enough Hosts n the Tabernacle for anyone dying needing the Last Rites.
 
On Good Friday after the priest given out communion the priest should consume all the leftover blessed sacrament son both the tabernacle are not reserving the blessed sacrament.

Where does it say that? What of emergencies? Our parish keeps a lot of Hosts in the Tabernacle as we are near both a busy motorway and a railway line, not to mention two hospitals.
Once the Altar of Repose is taken down at midnight on Maundy Thursday, the Blessed Sacrament is reposed in a safe in the sacristy in case there’s an emrgency durng the night… True, they are not in the Tabernacle in the church, but they are certainly not all consumed as you are saying they should be.
 
In my parish we are not near a hospital and that there is a Roman Catholic Church near a hospital so we don’t keep lodes off host in the tabernacle we would keep those parishes who are ill

Before Mass on Holy Thursday evening the only host remaing in the Tabernacle is the large host inside the lunal used for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after Mass.

Some priest will prefer that all remaining host are consumed (“before”) Holy Thursday which seems to be the usually norm. With some priest choosing to consecrate a new host for the lunal on Holy Thursday or Easter Vigil Mass. Enough consecrated host are always reserved for the sick in a separate Altar of Repose.

My apologies, Aran. I didn’t understand your post before. I see now that you are saying that there can be a tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament in a separate place on Good Friday. Sorry, I should have read more carefully.
