The heart of Booterstown is The Church of the Assumption.
The parish was constituted prior to 1616 and a tablet on the wall inside the church gives the names of all the parish priests from that date.
At one time, Booterstown Parish covered most of what is now South County Dublin.
The present church building was built in 1812.
