There are 3 churches in Kilfinane, all called St. Andrew,s;
A church of Ireland was built in the 14th century by the Roche family and rebuilt in 1760 but is now a ruin in the “old” section of the graveyard. In 1853 this was replaced by St. Andrew’s church on the road to Ballyorgan. This church is now deconsecrated and is used as a venue for art and music events.
St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic church was built during the tenure of Fr Patrick Lee as parish priest in Kilfinane from 1877 until his death in 1892. The church is dedicated to St Andrew.
Inside the church, on the left-hand side, there is a plaque and stained glass window to Fr Lee who died on July 23rd 1892. He is buried on the right hand side of the church, in front of the altar. On the right-hand side, there is another stained glass window and a plaque to the memory of Fr Lee. The people of the parish and friends of Fr Lee donated these.
To the left of the altar there is small altar to the Sacred Heart. This altar and the stained glass window behind it are dedicated to a former parish priest of Kilfinane, Fr Maurice Fitzgibbon. On the right hand side of the altar there is a small altar to the Good Mother Mary.
