St. Mary is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in Hemlock, Michigan, a small community in Saginaw County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Mary, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary under the general title used in the parish's name, and serves Catholics in and around Hemlock as part of the diocese's territorial parish structure.

As a diocesan territorial parish, St. Mary is served by diocesan clergy rather than a religious order, and it ministers to the surrounding rural and small-town community typical of this part of Michigan.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish's presence on St Mary's Drive in Hemlock reflects a long-standing Catholic community in the area.
