In 1905, the Reverend James P. Parker arrived in Conshohocken to assume the duties administrator at St. Matthew's Parish. Later, upon the death of Father Kinahan, he became pastor. To accommodate a growing congregation, the parish purchased a parcel of Fayette Street for the new St. Matthew's Church.

In preparation for the monumental task of designing and constructing the Father Parker spent a great deal of the year 1910 touring Europe, studying the distinctive architecture of Gothic churches. Groundbreaking for the new St. Matthew's Church was in 1915, and the new church was dedicated on Sunday, September 21, 1919, by Archbishop (later Cardinal) Dennis Dougherty.

Upon Father Parker's death in 1921, he was interred on the church grounds.
