Vernon streets in Newport, this is the oldest Catholic cemetery in Rhode Island, and the site of the state’s first Catholic church (1828), which served Newport’s growing Irish immigrant community.

The outdoor tour of approximately 30 minutes, given by a historian/guide Steve Marino, and sponsored by Museum of Newport Irish History, is held, weather permitting, at 12:30 p.m. on March 5, 19 and 26.
