👉 In the context of geography, a chapelry is a community or district located within a parish. It is often referred to as a "parish" but can also be considered as part of a larger ecclesiastical entity, such as the diocese or archdiocese. Chapelry typically includes a church and its associated buildings, which are usually dedicated to local saints. The purpose of chapelry is to provide services for the community, including religious ceremonies, charitable work, and pastoral care.
