St. Paul's Catholic Church, Catholic church in Burlington, Iowa.

St. Paul's Church is a High Victorian Gothic Revival church of Bedford limestone, designed by Chicago architect James J. Egan and completed in 1895. A single corner tower on the right of the facade rises 100 feet (30 m) and holds the original 1842 church bell. Prominent buttresses divide the side bays, where tracery and paired lancet windows alternate beneath three gables.

The church's cornerstone was laid in 1892 and construction was completed in 1895 under the design of architect James J. Egan. The building reflects the growth of Catholic communities in the region during the late 1800s.

The parish name changed twice: Saints John and Paul in 1998, then Divine Mercy in 2017, when four Burlington-area churches were merged. The 1842 bell, the first in Burlington, still hangs in the corner tower. Inside, the altar sits under a tall pointed arch, with the tabernacle and a Sacred Heart statue on the left and a shrine to Mary and Joseph on the right.

The church is best visited during regular services if you want to see the interior and experience the community gathering. Visitors should check ahead about visiting hours, as access outside of services may be limited.

The 1842 bell, the first in Burlington, still hangs in the 100-foot corner tower. The 1895 interior was gutted and rebuilt after a 1946 fire, and the pews sit in four sections under hardwood hammer beams with no pillars in the way.
