Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish was established in 1885 under the auspices of Reverend Michael Lawler. In the late 1800s, the church served as the focal point of Roman Catholic activity, as its establishment was the result of mainly Catholic Irish immigrants moving into Philadelphia in the later part of the 19th century. During this time, St. Thomas Aquinas Church was the parish for many working-class Roman Catholics living in the area between Wharton Street and the Navy Yard and Broad Street to the Schuylkill River.

Upon his death in 1911, Father Lawler was interred on the church grounds.
