St. Michael is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving Catholics in and around Pinconning, Michigan, a small community in Bay County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, one of the principal angelic figures venerated in Catholic tradition as a protector of the Church and defender against evil.

As a diocesan territorial parish, St. Michael serves the Catholic faithful within its assigned geographic boundaries in and around Pinconning rather than a particular ethnic, linguistic, or national community. No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish reflects the long-standing Catholic presence established across the small towns and rural communities of the Diocese of Saginaw in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

The parish continues to serve as a spiritual home for area Catholics, maintaining sacramental life and community ministries consistent with its status within the diocese.
