On June 8, 1919, St. David Parish was established with Father Edward J. Curran as its first pastor. For the three years previous to that date, the wooden church on the grounds was a chapel of St. Luke Parish, Glenside. From the initial few hundred families, today St. David Parish has 2,100 families and over 6,011 registered members.

On September 1920, St. David School was established and is now celebrating 80 years of continuous Catholic education under the leadership of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. With an initial enrollment of 47 children St. David School at present has an enrollment of 348 children from Pre-K through Grade 8. The present day faculty consists of 17 dedicated lay teachers and 5 Sisters. From June 1919 to the present, the history of this parish and its parishioners could fill volumes but must be left to the one book which counts, that which only the Lord knows.

From the saintly and generous Father Curran to the present, priests of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia have served the spiritual needs of their parishioners. Educationally, over 3700 children have graduated from St. David School and an equal number have been educated in our CCD Program, in most part through the dedication of parishioners who were the teachers and aides.

St. David Parish has been the spiritual home for thousands of Roman Catholics in this area of Montgomery County.
