Since the Solemnity of St. Joseph falls inside of Holy Week this year, it has been moved to Saturday. There has been a long lasting tradition at the seminary that they all celebrate the Solemnity with the Daughters of Charity, however the seminarians leave this Friday to go home to their home dioceses for Holy Week. So, Archbishop O'Brien moved the Solemnity (or gave permission to celebrate the Solemnity) to yesterday: but I think only for the seminary, not for the whole archdiocese.
At any rate, the question I'd like to ask, in a somewhat joking matter, is: Will the seminarians be able to celebrate the Solemnity on Saturday when they are no longer in this archdiocese, but in another one?
I guess the same type of question could be asked when two different dioceses move a Solemnity to two different days- if you were in one diocese for the Solemnity day and in the other one for the other celebration, would you be able to celebrate both as Solemnities?

Yes. The same would be true, say, if you were in Nebraska or New England for Ascension Thursday, and in a different state on the following Sunday. You would actually celebrate the Feast of the Ascension twice.
You follow the rules in place where you are, unless you have been granted a dispensation for good cause.

I had asked a similar question about St. Patrick's Day up in the Fellowship Hall - sorry, I hadn't noticed Mary and the Saints, sometimes it's hard to keep up - so I guess it will probably get moved here. Anyway, I had wondered if those who want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on the traditional March 17th would be frowned upon by the church or if they can celebrate it on the traditional day. My wife also wants to know when she should make our traditional Irish stew, too, ha, ha!

Actually, since the "official" observance has been transferred to a Friday in Lent, neither is appropriate for the March 14th feast day. Either would be acceptable on March 17th, but a large party or parade would not be acceptable.

So, of course, not being Catholic (just a good ol' Baptist boy), that means I could get away with it but YOU could not!  Anway, I guess that also explains why the Irish Bishops moved St. Patrick's Day to Saturday, May 15th and why all of the major parades are on Saturday as well! 
Earlier on WWBT TV, the news anchors were telling about how local Police and Sheriffs Departments are stepping up patrols for drunk drivers who will have been out drinking green beer and various Irish imports, etc. They referred to "people already celebrating on the weekend while St. Patrick's Day comes on a MONDAY this year...", so I guess that the secular world is still regarding St. Patrick's Day as being on the 17th. SIGH! Oh well! At least they marginally acknowledge St. Patrick, even if it is for the purpose of a party.
