Church of St. Kilian (Catholic) is a historic church in Wilmont Township, Minnesota, USA. The parish was founded in 1878, when the pastor of Church of St. Adrian recognized the increasing number of settlers in the area. The church building was built in 1900.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The parish was part of a four-parish cluster with St. Adrian, St. Anthony in Lismore and Our Lady of Good Counsel in Wilmont.[3] In 2017, it became an oratory.[4]
