Apparently they can, because they just did. Many Catholic Churches worldwide held mass for St. Patrick's Day on Friday, March 14 this year instead of this coming Monday. Why? Because this year the real St. Patty's Day occurs during "Holy Week" which apparently is "the most sombre week of the Church calendar year". Well, I definitely wouldn't want to be stuck going to one of THOSE masses.... Luckily for us, no more of this confusion will be happening while we're alive - this is the last time St. Patrick's Day will overlap with Holy Week until 2160.
