Father and Mother's Day. Thanks

Dear all,

The first question: could you tell me when Mother and Father's Day is in America?

The second question: the word " held" in the following sentence. Does that mean Father's day is usually on Sunday or people celebrate it on Sunday? Thank you for your answer.

Mother's Day and Father's Day, though always held on Sunday, are also important.
