Descriptiontext

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington is a non-profit ecclesiastical organization, founded in 1853, that serves as the canonical Roman Catholic authority for the state of Vermont under the spiritual governance of the Holy See. The Diocese delivers religious services, faith formation, and sacramental ministry through a network of more than 150 parishes statewide, supported by 51-100 central administrative employees headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont. Its leadership rests with the Bishop of Burlington — currently John J. McDermott, the 11th bishop, ordained July 15, 2024 following his appointment by Pope Francis.

The Diocese operates an integrated portfolio spanning parishes, Catholic schools (including Mount St. Joseph Academy, Rice Memorial High School, Christ the King School, Mater Christi School, and Saint Francis Xavier School), the St. Therese of Lisieux Digital Academy, and Vermont Catholic Charities, the social-services subsidiary providing counseling, pregnancy support, and immigration assistance. Programmatic offerings include Totus Tuus youth ministry, marriage and family support, respect-life ministries, vocations discernment, and the Walking with Moms in Need parish initiative. Communications are delivered via vermontcatholic.org, the Vermont Catholic Magazine, VTC Online News, and active social media channels across Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Vimeo, Flickr, and Pinterest.

Revenue mechanics are donations-driven and structurally diverse: voluntary parish collections, the Bishop's Annual Appeal fundraising campaign, school tuition, and counseling fees at Vermont Catholic Charities (which accepts most insurance plans and offers sliding-scale fees). Strategic alliances include the Society of Saint Edmund, Sisters of Life, and the Knights of Columbus. In 2024 the Diocese earned nine Catholic Media Awards from the Catholic Media Association, reflecting its external communications positioning.

Insurance JournalTo Shield Its Parishes, Vermont Diocese Wants to Pull Its Bankruptcy FilingThe Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Vermont, asked the U.S. bankruptcy court to dismiss its Chapter 11 case, following a rejected $29.4 million settlement offer and a ruling allowing survivors to sue over parish assets. The diocese fears the case could expose $500 million in trust assets, and the court has set a December 8, 2026 hearing on the motion.PR NewswireBANKRUPTCY COURT ALLOWS SURVIVORS' COMMITTEE TO SUE DIOCESE OF BURLINGTON, ITS PARISHES, AND THE TRUSTS HOLDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN ASSETSA U.S. Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 case of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Vermont to pursue claims the Diocese itself refused to bring. The Committee has filed a complaint seeking to declare that the Diocese's parishes and schools are operating divisions of the Diocese rather than independent legal entities, and that $405 million in Parish Trusts created in 2006 are self-settled trusts subject to survivors' claims. The action aims to recover assets for the estate and its creditors, including over one hundred survivors of child sexual abuse.Winnipeg Free PressJudge allows clergy abuse claimants to sue for parish assets in Vermont Catholic bankruptcy caseA U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in Vermont has ruled that clergy abuse claimants can pursue parish assets estimated at up to $500 million in the Vermont Roman Catholic Diocese's Chapter 11 reorganization case, allowing them to file a lawsuit challenging whether trust-sheltered local properties of nearly 70 parishes are available to fund settlements. The diocese, which filed for bankruptcy in fall 2024, has already paid $34.5 million to settle 67 clergy misconduct lawsuits over two decades but faces 119 additional claims dating back to 1950. The diocese must now choose between closed-door mediation or continued litigation, having already spent $2 million in legal fees over two years.Vermont PublicCatholic diocese to sell its South Burlington headquarters as part of bankruptcyThe Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington is selling its South Burlington headquarters to Northeast Territories, LLC for $3.13 million as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings to resolve sex abuse claims. The diocese will relocate its administrative staff to St. Michael’s College in Colchester, with proceeds from the sale designated to cover bankruptcy-related costs and legal bills.
