St. Joseph the Worker is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving Catholics in and around Mount Pleasant, Michigan, in Isabella County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Joseph under his title as patron of workers, honored in the universal Church's calendar on May 1st.
The parish's mailing address places it along N. Winn Road outside the city of Mount Pleasant proper, and its own web presence identifies it with the nearby unincorporated community of Beal City, suggesting the parish serves a rural farming population in this part of central Michigan. No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources.
Like many rural Michigan parishes named for the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph the Worker likely traces its roots to the agricultural settlement of the surrounding townships, though a detailed institutional history has not been located in publicly available records.
