The Catholic Precinct at Harrington Street dates back to the early 1820's when a burial ground and small chapel was built at the site by Fr Philip Connolly, Tasmania's first permanent priest. The current St Mary's Cathedral was built in the 1860's and remains the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Hobart.



St Mary's became a College in 1868, founded by the Presentation Sisters, after Bishop Daniel Murphy perceived a spiritual need in the community in 1866. The College remains to offer a Catholic education as a primarily all-girls school.



Between 2010 and 2016, a crypt was constructed at St Mary's Cathedral in order to provide a final resting place for past Church leaders who were buried in the land surrounding the Cathedral. This includes four of the early bishops, of whom Fr Philip Connolly is one, who served the community from St Mary's.
