On April 14, 1894, Archbishop Patrick John Ryan appointed Reverend James A. Mullin as the founding pastor of a new parish in Overbrook called Staint Mary Magdalene's. This parish was quickly renamed to Our Lady of Lourdes upon request of Father Mullin.

During the summer of 1894 the English Gothic-style church was constructed, followed closely by a rectory in 1896 and a school in 1908. The church's distinctive carillon was built after World War II.

The current Our Lady of Lourdes Parish was constituted in 2013 following the suppression and merger of three Overbrook parishes: Our Lady of Lourdes, Staint Callistus, and Saint Donato -- the latter of which had recently merged with Our Lady of the Angels.

Monsignor Mullin died in 1941 and was laid to rest on the church grounds. His friend and third pastor of the church, Monsignor William J. Lallou, was laid to rest beside him upon his own death in 1973.
