No, that parade is scheduled to be held on Monday, the 17th. Since the Cardinal declares that this parade is a "civic" celebration, the Archdiocese is accomodating the parade. It seems that there will even be the usual pre-parade Mass for the Feast of St. Patrick [btw, this is in total violation of Church law ].
I have my own opinions as to the Archdiocese's declared stand as to the parade's being a "civil" celebration, since the parade organizers have denied participation to gay and other non-mainstream Irish groups by defining themselves as a religous organization, subject to the authority of the Church. 
I stand corrected, as I have learned. The service held prior to the parade will be the one appropriate to the day.
