Roman Catholic Church St. Quirinus, no. 53, built to a design by architect Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) in 1911 in a Neo-Romanesque style. The whole was carried out by contractor M. Bakkeren from Princenhage. The church and rectory are elevated, away from the street.

The modern church design by architect Herman van Wissen (1910-2000) is in line with the innovative liturgical and architectural views in the Roman Catholic Church during the post-war period. The church is a round central building, consisting of a concrete skeleton, a flat dome and a low ambulatory.

The hall church located in the Kinheimpark was built in 1926 to a design by the Bloemendaal architect J. de Lugt, in the style of the Amsterdam School. Characteristic is the main shape of the roof, a pointed barrel vault with the attached chapels, also pointed arch-shaped. This shape is a combination of the traditional Gothic construction method and the parabolic shape of the Amsterdam School. The small church is freely situated between the villas of the villa park. The garden design is also comparable to that of the surrounding buildings.

Built on the site of the former large church Regina Caeli, after it was demolished.

The oldest parish church was in the Sluisstraat in the Groenewoud. That is also the oldest part of Lithoijen. After the Reformation, the Catholics had to hold their services in a barn church. That stood where the cemetery is now, just outside the village. In 1842, the barn church was replaced by a Waterstaat church. After half a century, this was in such poor condition that architect C. Franssen was commissioned to design a new church. This church, the current Remigius church, was consecrated on 5 August 1901. In the church, the Mignon unit organ by the Verschueren company from 1968 was replaced by a new organ by the Klop company. The new organ was put into use on Saturday 14 May 2005. The old organ has been sold.
