St. Donato Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1910, is a Catholic parish in Overbrook, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The parish is still a Personal (Italian) Parish within the archdiocese. The current pastor is Rev. Ferdinand Buccafurni. About 650 families are registered, with the total congregation numbering around 1,300.

Attached to the parish are a school and convent. St. Donato School enrolls 249 children. It is staffed by one Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart and 16 lay faculty. The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart convent was established by Mother Cabrini while she was based in Philadelphia.

History

St. Donato drew its name from the town of San Donato Val di Comino, Italy, from which many of the residents of the Overbrook-Haddington area had immigrated. The parish celebrates the feast of St. Donato and of St. Frances X. Cabrini on the first Sunday of June. The celebration opens the annual carnival and the feast of Mother Cabrini was added to the celebration of St. Donato because she personally established the school and worshipped in the lower Church, and her Sisters remain active with the parish.
