Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
No, I'm not jumping the gun. Monday, the 17th, is in Holy Week (Sunday is Palm Sunday, remember?), and the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments always transfers the feast day when the 17th falls in Holy Week. The last time it happened was around 1940 and it won't happen again until 2160. The U.S. Conference of Bishops sent out a letter saying the feast was transferred to the 14th. Some people have decided to observe it on Saturday the 15th, and that is permissible as well (though I don't think you're supposed to have a two day-long green beer drunk!).
I wore my green today. Did you?
