I heard that it cannot be during Holy Week, so they moved it to the 15th. this year.

That’s only for celebrations. St. Pat’s is always on the 17th.

Here they did not want to have the annual parade on Palm Sunday so they had it this past Sunday. Very early.

In our archdiocese they are making the official marking of St Patrick’s day on Friday the 14th. Since the 17th is during Holy Week they did not want there to be too much revelry.

Now, why can’t there be a special day for a “saint” during Holy Week?

Easy, celebrate it on both days.
