On March 6, 1810, a plot of land was purchased for $11,000 to build a Catholic school run by Jesuits. The project was ultimately abandoned and the site sold in 1813 to Trappist abbot Dom Augustin de Lestrange, who was exiled to America to escape persecution from French authorities. He planned to establish an orphanage for 33 children on the land. With the fall of Napoleon I in 1814, most of the Trappists returned to France, leaving behind their property. Some traveled to Canada, and eventually built the Abbey of Saint Joseph of Spencer. The orphanage was maintained by the Diocese of New York during the 19th century.
The Diocese of New York, founded in 1808, was elevated to an archdiocese by Pope Pius IX in 1850. Archbishop John Joseph Hughes made the decision to erect a new place of worship to replace the old St. Patrick's Church, located at the intersection of Prince, Mott, and Mulberry Streets. This church, the St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, was destroyed by a fire in 1866 and was later rebuilt and consecrated in 1868. Today, it is the oldest Catholic church in New York.

Le 6 mars 1810, un terrain est acheté pour 11 000 USD afin de construire une école catholique dirigée par des jésuites. Le projet est finalement abandonné et le site vendu en 1813 à l'abbé trappiste Dom Augustin de Lestrange, exilé en Amérique pour fuir les persécutions des autorités françaises. Ce dernier compte y aménager un orphelinat pour 33 enfants. Avec la chute de Napoléon Ier en 1814, la plupart des trappistes retournent en France, abandonnant leur domaine. D'autres voyagent, se rendent au Canada, et ils finissent par bâtir l'abbaye Saint-Joseph de Spencer. L'orphelinat est maintenu par le diocèse de New York durant le xixe siècle.
Le diocèse de New York, fondé en 1808 est transformé en archidiocèse par le pape Pie IX en 1850. L'archevêque John Joseph Hughes prend la décision d'ériger un nouveau lieu de culte pour remplacer l'ancienne église de Saint-Patrick, située à l'intersection des rues Prince, Mott et Mulberry. Cette église, la St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, détruite par un incendie en 1866, est d'ailleurs reconstruite et consacrée en 1868. De nos jours, elle constitue la plus ancienne église catholique de New York .
