Our Lady of the Rosary: Our parish is dedicated to and under the protection of Mary, the mother of Jesus, under the title of "Our Lady of the Rosary". Our Lady of the Rosary’ Mary 
The Windows: The stained glass windows were made in the 1940's for our old church. The cost was defrayed from the proceeds of a bequest from the estate of James and Bertha Quinn who worked tirelessly for the parish in its earliest years. The main window was over the altar, as it is now, and the window of Our Lady of the Rosary, in the Chapel, was at the opposite end of the church. This window depicts Our Lady with St Catherine of Siena and St Dominic. The window over the baptismal font, which is the work of Rodney Marshall, was made in 1991 upon the occasion of the building of the church.  Stained glass window depicting Our Lady with St Catherine of Siena & St Dominic
The Altar: This is the altar which stood for many years in the original church. It was built, along with matching marble pulpit, altar rails and floor, in the late 1940's in memory of the work of Father W. Hawe. Upon the building of our new church the altar was reduced in size and rebuilt. All marble in the church also comes from the original works.  Marble altar
The Baptismal Font:  The font is made from sandstone and also comes from the original church.  Baptismal font
The shrine of Blessed Mary MacKillop: This is in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. The picture of Blessed Mary MacKillop was blessed at the Mass during the parish pilgrimage in honour of Mary MacKillop on 19th March 1995 in the Josephite Chapel at North Sydney.  The shrine of Blessed Mary MacKillop
In 1996, we began a regular series of shared services with St Paul's Anglican Parish of Wahroonga. The Services alternate between our church and St Paul's. At the end of our first series of shared Lenten Services, each parish presented the other with the gift of a Bible to express our common faith in the Word of God. The Bible on the glass stand near the baptismal font is the Bible that was presented to us by St Paul's Parish on that occasion.  Bible presented to Waitara Parish by St Paul’s parish
