Mass was celebrated in private homes in the district from about the 1820s. The first Catholic Church at St Marys was blessed and opened by His Lordship, Bishop Reynolds of Adelaide in 1875. The second church building was opened in 1892. The St Marys parish was founded in 1946, being separated from the Penrith Parish. The present Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church building was opened and blessed on 13/5/1962. The Salesians of Don Bosco have pastoral responsibility for the church. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/2/2021.
