It is the oldest Roman Catholic burial ground in Westchester County.
History:
Church was established in 1842 when John Henry donated a parcel of land in verplanck to Archbishop John Huges "on condition that a place of worship fro Roman catholics be erected within the space of one year" The church was founded to serve the immigrant workers at the brickyards in Verplanck
In Feb of 1846 Father John Hackett arranged for Mr Henry to additionally donate a 100 sq ft parcel on the South side of the church as a cemetery.
It served the parish for many years until 1873 when the new burial ground on Broadway came into use. The Assumption Church parish in Peekskill turned over the St Mary's cemetery on Broadway to St Patricks in 1926 as the churchyard was being out grown.
The first grave stones for the pastors Rev John Hackett and Rev Nicholsa O'Donnell were relocated along the church wall when the church was rebuilt in 1982
The St Mary's cemetery on Broadway was renamed St Particks Cemetery and has a separate listing on FindaGrave.
