History

The parish was founded as St. Mary's in 1830. The parish church that was built in 1841 became the pro-cathedral when the diocese was established in 1852.[1] Construction of the first Immaculate Conception Cathedral began in 1862 and continued until 1867. Progress was slowed because of the American Civil War. This church served as the diocesan cathedral until it was destroyed by arson on March 13, 1972. Timothy Austin confessed to the police that he set the fire. He later plead innocent by reason of insanity and was sent for treatment at the state hospital.[2]
In 1974 New York City architect Edward Larrabee Barnes was chosen to design a new cathedral on the same property.[3] Vermont landscape architect Dan Kiley was commissioned to plan the park-like setting, which included a free-standing bell tower near the corner of Cherry and St. Paul Streets. The project was completed in 1977.
In 2001 Saint Joseph Church in Burlington was named the Co-Cathedral for the diocese.
