This year's Lent, so unusually early, has moved our major March feasts around. Holy Week and Easter Week take precedence over all other observances and so they must make way. St. Joseph's Feast is celebrated today instead of March 19, and the Feast of the Annunciation is celebrated March 31 instead of March 25.
But much more significantly for your average American, the memorial of St. Patrick (which is much less significant liturgically) has for all practical purposes fallen right off the calendar this year.
Doesn't that make you want to sing O Danny Boy?
