St. Stanislaus Kostka is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located at 1503 Kosciuszko Ave. in Bay City, Michigan. The parish is dedicated to Saint Stanislaus Kostka, the sixteenth-century Polish Jesuit novice venerated as a patron of youth and of Poland.

The parish's location on Kosciuszko Avenue—named for the Polish military hero Tadeusz Kościuszko—reflects the strong Polish immigrant heritage of the surrounding Bay City neighborhood, a pattern common among parishes of this dedication established to serve Polish-American Catholic communities in the Great Lakes region.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though parishes bearing this dedication in the Saginaw Valley area are generally associated with the wave of Polish immigration to Michigan's lumbering and manufacturing towns in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
