| | Parish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Parishes of this type are found in England, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the U.S. state of Louisiana (where it is equivalent to a county), Estonia and a number of island nations in the region of the Caribbean. |
 | | A parish is a subdivision of a diocese or bishopric within the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Church of Sweden, and of some other churches. |
 | | In mediaeval times and earlier, when the church was politically and economically powerful, such a right could have great importance. |
