parish

(noun)

An administrative part of a diocese that has its own church; found in the Anglican, Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Church and certain civil government entities.

Examples of parish in the following topics:

  • Effects of Group Size on Stability and Intimacy

    • The contrast between the two types is illustrated by comparing hamlet with town, military company with battalion, parish church with diocese, or a country school with a huge urban one.

  • Catholicism

    • This count primarily rests on the parish assessment tax that pastors evaluate yearly according to the number of registered members and contributors.
