Holy Family is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located on South Washington Avenue in Saginaw, Michigan. Dedicated to the Holy Family—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—the parish serves Catholics living within its designated boundaries in Saginaw County.
As a territorial parish, Holy Family ministers to residents of its assigned geographic area rather than functioning as a personal or national parish organized around a particular ethnic community or language group. No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish's presence on South Washington Avenue reflects the broader pattern of Catholic parish establishment that accompanied Saginaw's growth as an industrial and manufacturing center in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The parish continues to serve the spiritual needs of the local Catholic community through the celebration of the Sacraments and participation in the wider life of the Diocese of Saginaw.

The parish is currently listed among the active worshiping communities of the Diocese of Saginaw, continuing to serve the Catholic faithful of the South Washington Avenue corridor.[2]
