St. Agnes is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in Freeland, Michigan, a community in Saginaw County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Agnes, the young Roman martyr venerated since the early centuries of the Church as a patroness of purity and fidelity to Christ.
Situated in the mid-Michigan countryside northwest of Saginaw, St. Agnes serves Catholic families in Freeland and the surrounding Tittabawassee River area. As a territorial parish, it draws its congregation primarily from residents within its assigned geographic boundaries rather than from a particular ethnic, linguistic, or national community.
No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the presence of an established parish plant in Freeland reflects the broader pattern of Catholic parish growth across Saginaw County during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as rural and small-town communities in the diocese organized permanent congregations.
