St. Columbkille is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in Sheridan Township near Ubly, Michigan, in Huron County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Columba, popularly known by his Irish name Columbkille ("Dove of the Church"), the sixth-century Irish abbot and missionary who spread Christianity throughout Scotland and founded the influential monastery on the island of Iona.

Situated amid the farmland of Michigan's Thumb region, St. Columbkille serves a rural Catholic community. Like many parishes in this part of the diocese, its congregation reflects the area's long history of Irish and other European Catholic settlement.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, and the parish does not appear to be operated by a religious order; it is served by diocesan clergy of the Diocese of Saginaw.

History

Limited sources are publicly available regarding the specific founding and early development of St. Columbkille. The parish's dedication to Saint Columba (Columbkille) suggests ties to Irish Catholic heritage common among settlers in Huron County's rural townships during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, though no confirmed founding date, founding pastor, or construction history for the current church building is documented in available sources.[1]

Further archival research would be needed to establish a detailed parish history, including dates of construction, expansion, or renovation of the church building at 3031 McAlpin Rd.
