Uptown Catholic Parish (Dubuque, Iowa)

The Uptown Catholic Parish was to be the second Roman Catholic parish in Dubuque, Iowa. It was to be a second parish in addition to the St. Raphael's Cathedral parish, and part of the Archdiocese of Dubuque.

The Uptown Catholic Parish was to be located on the west side of Main Street between 7th and 8th streets in Dubuque. Bishop Loras planned the parish due to crowded conditions at the Cathedral - then the only parish in Dubuque. A cornerstone was laid for the parish church, but construction work never proceeded past the laying of the foundation. It's unclear what the parish would've been named if the parish had been completed as planned. Overcrowding at the Cathedral was later addressed by the adding of parishes further to the north and west.

An early map of the city of Dubuque which included the church buildings of the local Christian denominations included the proposed church building as the Catholic Cathedral.
