• Anglican. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SX39670 and was dedicated to St Dominicia on 19th October 1259. It comprises a chancel, nave, and north and south aisles. The south arcade has four semi-circular or obtuse arches, and one pointed; the north has five four-centred pointed arches. The material is granite and the pillars are chiefly monolith. The entrances are a north door, a priest's door, and a south porch. The tower, which is buttressed at the angles, is of three stages; the third stage projects twelve inches on every side and rests on a corbelled table. This arrangement gives a larger bell-chamber. Below the embattled parapet are rude figures of the apostles, and the pinnacles have curious floriated tops. The tower contains six bells. A major restoration of the medieval church took place in the mid-19th century and was reopened on 2nd February 1871.
• Non-Conformist. The Bible Christians had a chapel in the Churchtown, an the Wesleyan Methodists had a place of worship at Hay. The first chapel was built about 1828 on the Halton Quay road near Haye Farm and was used until about 1868 when a new chapel was built at Towell, between St Dominic and Bohetherick. This Wesleyan chapel gradually increased its capacity until it could seat 220 persons; a schoolroom was added in 1870. This chapel was closed in 1991 and demolished in 1992. There is a chapel that was originally opened by the Bible Christians in St Dominic village in 1898, it is still used for worship to this day. None of these chapels had a burial ground.

The parish of St Dominick was originally in the Liskeard Registration District. There were sub-districts at Callington (which looked after St Dominick), Lerrin, Liskeard and Looe, but these closed in the 1930s. The parish is now in the St Germans Registration District. However, when Callington was closed and St Dominick came under St Germans, the Callington registers were split and the birth and death registers went to Liskeard and the marriage registers to St Germans.

The parishes of the Liskeard district were: Boconnoc, Broadoak, Callington, Calstock (1837-60), Duloe, East Looe, Lanreath, Lansallos, Lanteglos, Linkinhorne, Liskeard, Liskeard Borough, Menheniot, Morval, Pelynt, St. Cleer, St. Dominick, St. Ive, St. Keyne, St. Martin's, St. Neot, St. Pinnock, St. Veep, Southill, Talland, West Looe.
