Vermont Diocese Sells HQ Amid Bankruptcy

The Vermont Roman Catholic Diocese is selling its South Burlington headquarters for $3.13 million amid a crumbling bankruptcy case fueled by $34.5 million in past abuse settlements and mounting legal fees. Facing a judge’s warning that the case could be dismissed without a viable reorganization plan by fall, the diocese—still wrestling with 119 unresolved lawsuits dating back to 1950—is relocating Bishop John McDermott’s offices to Saint Michael’s College. With creditors and lawyers reporting little progress, the court’s top priority remains ensuring survivors get compensation—not lawyers’ fees.
