A parish is a type of administrative subdivision. It is used by some Christian churches, usually liturgical churches, and also by the civil government in a number of countries (see civil parish).

Ecclesiastic parishes

---

A parish is a territorial subdivision of a diocese or bishopric within the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Church of Sweden, and of some other churches. In the Catholic Church, each parish has one parish priest (as he is usually called in England and Ireland), who acts as the chaplain to the area. Parish priest as a term is used also by other denominations (even when 'priest' is not the usual term). In the United States, the Catholic parish priest is usually referred to as the "pastor" of the parish.

A parish priest may have a fellow priest, called a curate, or a "vicar," assisting him. Each parish usually has a central church or chapel, called the parish church, where religious services take place. Some larger parishes may have a number of such churches or chapels.

More Catholic parishes are moving away from plain ole' HTML to CMS using PHP. I'm not buying it, but 7 out of 10 parishes are thinking it.
