St. Joseph is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving the Catholic community of Auburn, Michigan, in Bay County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ and patron of the universal Church, a devotion widely embraced among Catholic communities throughout the Great Lakes region.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though parishes bearing the name of Saint Joseph were commonly established by Catholic settlers and clergy across mid-Michigan during the diocese's growth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. St. Joseph continues to serve area Catholics today as part of the pastoral network of the Diocese of Saginaw.

The parish maintains an active sacramental and community life consistent with its identity as a territorial parish serving the Auburn area.
