St. Cyril is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving the small rural community of Bannister in Gratiot County, Michigan. The parish church stands along East Main Street in the village of Bannister, within a largely agricultural stretch of mid-Michigan.

The parish bears the name of Saint Cyril, though available sources do not specify which historical Cyril the community honors. The dedication may refer to Saint Cyril of Jerusalem or Saint Cyril of Alexandria, both fourth- and fifth-century bishops and Doctors of the Church, or possibly to Saint Cyril, the ninth-century missionary to the Slavic peoples who is often venerated together with his brother Saint Methodius. No confirmed clarification of the specific patron is documented in available sources.

As a territorial parish, St. Cyril serves Catholics residing within its assigned geographic boundaries in and around Bannister, rather than functioning as a personal or national parish. No evidence indicates the parish holds basilica, cathedral, or shrine status, and it does not appear to be operated by a religious order.

History

Limited sources are available regarding the founding and early history of St. Cyril Parish. No confirmed founding date is documented in publicly available records, though the parish's presence in Bannister reflects the broader pattern of small rural Catholic communities established across Gratiot County to serve farming families and local settlers in the region.[1]

The parish continues to operate today under the Diocese of Saginaw, maintaining a presence in the village of Bannister.[2]
