When it opened in 1871, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church served the Irish immigrant population from the surrounding Hibernia neighborhood in Burlington. St. Patrick’s was in use until 2002, when the Diocese closed the church and began planning for its demolition. The Heritage Trust undertook negotiations with parish officials and was able to obtain title to the building. With funding from Trust members and grants, dedicated volunteers did much of the rehab work, restoring features such as the wood floors and hand-grained woodwork. St. Patrick’s began its new life as Hibernia Hall in Fall 2006. The facility at 1204 Washington is available for receptions, reunions, and meetings (no religious ceremonies may be held in the building).
