Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Kellyville History
Before Kellyville became a parish it formed part of the parish of St Michael's Baulkham Hills. In the early 1950s, the then Parish Priest, Rev JJ Deely, saw a need for a church in this area and purchased the land on Windsor Road.
The church was blessed and opened on 10 March 1957 by Cardinal Gilroy. Prior to this, Mass was celebrated in the Memorial Hall and Housie nights were held to raise money for the building of the church.
The Order of Friars Minor Conventual (Conventual Franciscans) moved to Kellyville in 1968 and purchased a house and land on Windsor Road in order to establish itself within the Archdiocese of Sydney as it was then.
They were given care of Our Lady of the Rosary Kellyville, when it was declared a parish on 8 March 1970 with Rev Leonard Testa as the first Parish Priest. The parish bulletin that day read:
"Today is the Foundation Day of the parish of Kellyville. It is the beginning of the new era in the spiritual life of the Catholics of this area, bringing with it special privileges and duties for all parishioners. With God's blessing and the wholehearted support and co-operation of everyone, we can become a strong active parish."
The church was moved from Windsor Road to Diana Avenue in 1976 under the direction of the then Parish Priest, Rev Maximilian Balabanski.
In 1983, the new church was opened and consecrated by Cardinal Freeman. In 1995, the parish celebrated its 25th anniversary.
With the expansion of the parish, there are now two primary schools, Our Lady of the Rosary Kellyville and St Angela's Castle Hill.
2008 marked the 25th Anniversary of the church's consecration and the division of the new Rouse Hill Parish.
