    I was curious to see if others are seeing that Ascension Thursday is transferred to the upcoming Sunday? I live in Archdiocese of NY and it remains on Thursday and is a holy day of obligation. But right over the border the Diocese of Newark (NJ) has transferred it to Sunday and Thursday is a regular weekday Mass.
