St. Brigid of Kildare is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in Midland, Michigan. The parish is dedicated to Saint Brigid of Kildare, the fifth-century Irish abbess and one of the patron saints of Ireland, revered for her charity, monastic leadership, and the founding of a religious community at Kildare.

Situated in Midland County, the parish serves Catholics in and around the city of Midland, in the State of Michigan. As a territorial parish, it draws its membership primarily from the geographic boundaries assigned to it by the diocese rather than from a national, ethnic, or other personal affiliation.

The community continues to look to Saint Brigid's example of hospitality, generosity to the poor, and devotion to the Eucharist as a model for parish life.
