St. Elizabeth of Hungary is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in Reese, a small community in Tuscola County, Michigan. The parish is dedicated to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, the thirteenth-century princess renowned for her charity toward the poor and the sick, who has long been venerated as a patroness of Catholic charitable works.
Situated along M-81 (East Washington Road), the parish serves Catholic families in and around Reese and the surrounding rural Thumb region of Michigan. As is typical of territorial parishes, it ministers to Catholics residing within its assigned geographic boundaries rather than to a particular ethnic, linguistic, or national community.
The parish continues to serve as a center of Catholic worship and community life in Tuscola County, maintaining the sacramental and pastoral traditions of the Diocese of Saginaw.
