Burlington Diocese Sells HQ Amid Bankruptcy

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington is selling its South Burlington headquarters for $3.13 million to fund its bankruptcy proceedings, which aim to resolve over 100 sex abuse claims. Approved by a judge, the sale will help cover legal fees and other expenses as the diocese relocates staff to St. Michael’s College and St. John Vianney Parish, vacating the Joy Drive site by July 13. This follows a broader trend of financial restructuring among U.S. dioceses, with the Burlington diocese having already sold a Rutland facility for $1 million. Despite reporting $35 million in assets, the handling of parish assets—moved into separate trusts years ago—remains a major legal battleground.
