It depends on the Diocese. Some Bishops have any Holy Day that falls on Friday-Monday, is celebrated on Sunday. Don’t like it but..

Actually, I looked. And it's not, according to the USCCB Liturgical Calendar...and the Archdiocese of Washington (Msgr Pope's diocese) definitely hasn't transferred it. (in fact, I'm getting ready to leave for Mass as it is a Holy Day of Obligation in ADW)

I can see an additional celebration of a feast day like this one on the nearest Sunday to remind the parish of it. And get those who may not have attended Mass on the actual feast day to hear a homily related to it and their lives.

I do NOT think it correct to ignore the actual feast day on its actual calendar day and to reserve the celebrating of it only to the nearest Sunday. Unless there are no Masses held on the feast that occur during the week.
