Meeting for Worship takes place every Sunday at 10.30am. Visitors are always welcome.

Junior Meeting (which caters for ages three to early teens) also starts at 10.30, with the children joining the adults at 11.20 for the last 10 minutes of meeting for worship. The wide-ranging topics covered in Junior Meeting include those of a Biblical and Quaker nature as well as various social issues.

Rathfarnham Meeting celebrated its 50th anniversary in January 2007 with a special meeting for worship. The children interviewed seven of the original members of the meeting and they have compiled the interviews into a scrapbook.

The meeting house was built on land given to Friends by Lamb Brothers, Quaker jam manufacturers. It formed part of the site of the Lambs' fruit farm, which was sold in the 1950s for housing development.

The meeting maintains a library for the use of its members and regular attenders.
