{{See also|Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque}}
[[File:St. Raphael's Cathedral - Dubuque, Iowa 02.jpg|thumb|[[St. Raphael's Cathedral (Dubuque)|Saint Raphael's Cathedral]], the oldest church in [[Iowa]]]]
Since its founding, Dubuque has had, and continues to have, a strong religious tradition. Local [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] settlers established what would become the first Christian church in Iowa, [[St. Raphael's Cathedral (Dubuque, Iowa)|St. Raphael's Cathedral]], in 1833. The city also played a key role in the expansion of the Catholic Church into the Western United States, as it was the administrative center for Catholics in what is now [[Iowa]], [[Minnesota]], [[North Dakota]], and [[South Dakota]]. Many important Catholic religious leaders have lived in Dubuque, including its first bishop, [[Mathias Loras]]; Fr [[Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli|Samuel Mazzuchelli]], OP; [[Clement Smyth]]; and Mother [[Mary Frances Clarke]], BVM. Catholic parishes around the city include Saint Raphael's, [[Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Dubuque, Iowa)|Saint Mary's]],
[[Sacred Heart Catholic Church (Dubuque, Iowa)|Sacred Heart]], [[Holy Ghost Catholic Church (Dubuque, Iowa)|Holy Ghost]], [[Saint Patrick's Church (Dubuque)|Saint Patrick's]], [[Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church (Dubuque)|Saint Joseph the Worker]], Resurrection, Saint Columbkille's, and Saint Anthony's.

Since the 1870s the religious character of the area has been shaped by the Catholic Church. In 2010, Catholic adherents who regularly attended services made up about 53% of Dubuque County residents.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thearda.com/rcms2010/r/c/19/rcms2010_19061_county_name_2010.asp |title=Dubuque County, Iowa Religious Traditions, 2010 |publisher=Association of Religion Data Archives |access-date=November 8, 2012 |archive-date=October 11, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131011234639/http://www.thearda.com/rcms2010/r/c/19/rcms2010_19061_county_name_2010.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> This contrasts with Iowa as a whole, which was about 17% Catholic in 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thearda.com/rcms2010/r/s/19/rcms2010_19_state_name_2010.asp |title=Iowa Religious Traditions, 2010 |publisher=Association of Religion Data Archives |access-date=November 8, 2012 |archive-date=December 20, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121220091054/http://www.thearda.com/rcms2010/r/s/19/rcms2010_19_state_name_2010.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> In addition to churches, 5 religious colleges, 4 area [[convent]]s, and a nearby [[abbey]] and [[monastery]] add to the city's religious importance.
