St. John the Evangelist is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving the rural farming community of Ubly, Michigan, in Huron County. The parish is dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist, the Apostle traditionally credited with authorship of the Fourth Gospel, the Book of Revelation, and three New Testament epistles.

Located in Michigan's Thumb region, the parish ministers to Catholics in and around the small village of Ubly, an area historically settled by German and other European immigrant farming families. As with many rural Michigan parishes, St. John the Evangelist has long served as a spiritual and social anchor for the surrounding agricultural community.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though rural parishes throughout Huron County were commonly established in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as Catholic settlers moved into the Thumb region of Michigan.
