Under what circumstances are Solemnities transferred if they fall within Holy Week?

Reference

The solemnities of St. Joseph/March 19, Annunciation/March 24 and the Immaculate Conception/December 8 will always be transferred if they fall on a Sunday because of the liturgical season. Proper

If Easter falls from March 22nd to March 26, that means the Solemnities of St. Joseph and the Annunciation will fall during Holy Week and the Octave of Easter and both will have to be transferred.

*An individual bishop may transfer a holy day to a Sunday. This is the case in most US dioceses with the Ascension of Jesus, which is transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Since the Solemnity of Mary falls on a Monday, it may also be transferred to the closest Sunday. Check with your local diocese.

Solemnities that fall within Holy Week are typically transferred to another date. This is because liturgical celebrations during Holy Week, which are of significant importance in the Catholic Church, take precedence over solemnities. Specifically, if the Solemnities of St. Joseph or the Annunciation fall during Holy Week, they are usually transferred to another suitable date, such as after the Holy Week and the Easter Octave Catholic Culture.
