St. Michael is one of only two churches we found in the little town of Drummond, and we're quite sure that's all there are. The other church, Methodist, is across the street at the other end of the block.

A parish church of Flint Creek Catholic Community, the church shares a pastor with the other half of the pastoral unit, St. Philip Parish, in Philipsburg, about 25 miles south of Drummond on Highway 1.
The church has no online presence nor an informative sign to tell us more than the fact that its name is St. Michael, so we have precious little information here. The church seems to be resting on a quite old concrete foundation, dating it to 1900-1910 at the earliest. It's now covered in aluminum siding with a steel roof, so those don't help in determining its age. The windows in the sanctuary are all arched, but triangular, as opposed to the classic Gothic arch of most Catholic Churches. Beyond that, the church is a pretty pedestrian rectangle with steeple.
Atop the front gable, directly above the main entrance, is the bell tower and steeple. The belfry is completely open, exposing a single bell within, while atop is a cute "Witch's Cap" spire with flared eaves, metal cladding, a cross and a crow on top.
