On Easter Sunday, 1953, first Mass held at Saint David of Wales Church.
Sunday, 11 October 1953, Saint David of Wales Church was dedicated by the Archbishop. When Father Garrigan was interviewed by The Monitor at the time of the dedication, he is quoted as saying of the people of St. David's Parish: "What they lack in numbers they more than make up for in generosity....They're good, they're cooperative, and they're happy to know that we have property for a school--someday."
