Religion

The Roman Catholic parish of Ballyboden was established in 1973.[2] It is managed by the Order of Saint Augustine. Within the Archdiocese of Dublin, Rathfarnham parish is the parent of several local parishes. To accommodate the increasing need for ministry to the residential development of the Rathfarnham area over the last century, Terenure was developed in 1894, Churchtown (1965), Ballyroan (1968), Tallaght (1972), Ballyboden (1973) and Knocklyon (1974).^{[citation needed]}

There had been an Augustinian house of studies in Ballyboden since 1955. It was the home of students of the Order following the two-year course in Philosophy. When the new church in Ballyroan was opened in 1966 the Augustinians took an active part. The Augustinians had acquired Orlagh as a Novitiate in 1872. When University College Dublin moved from Earlsfort Terrace to the new campus at Belfield in south County Dublin in the 1960s and '70s, the order acquired St. Catherines, Ballyboden, previously the residence of Mr. Justice O’Byrne.^{[citation needed]}

The Church of Ireland is located in the pre-Reformation parish church at Whitechurch.^{[citation needed]}
