Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church, Kellyville had its beginnings in the 1950s, while still part of the parish of St Michael's Baulkham Hills, with Mass celebrated in the Memorial Hall. Its first church building was opened and blessed on 10/3/1957, at a site on the Windsor Road, by Cardinal Gilroy.
The parish of Our Lady of the Rosary was formally established on 8/3/1970, with the Rev Leonard Testa as the parish priest.
The church moved to Diana Avenue in 1976, and a new church building was opened and blessed by Cardinal Freeman in 1983. [Sourced from: https://olorparishkellyville.org.au/who-we-are/#history].
