When will the feast of the Annunciation be celebrated? Will it be on Sunday March 25, or will it be transferred since that Sunday is Palm Sunday?
 
According to my calendar, it has been moved to April 9, and is not a holy day of obligation.

Latin Church, in the USA, USCCB Liturgcal Calendar states:
9. Since March 25, 2018 is Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, normally assigned to this date, is transferred to Monday, April 9, 2018.
For the Byzantine Catholic Church, USA , the Annunciation of the Theotokos remains on Sunday March 25, 2018.
 
Any feast which falls within Holy Week, starting on Palm Sunday, or the Octave of Easter, is moved to the Monday following the Octave.
