Definition: In the Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran and Roman Catholic Church, an administrative part of a diocese that has its own church.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word that can be tricky, come what may!
We're tackling “parish,” a word you might see,
Especially when talking about faith, you agree?
The dictionary tells us, it’s quite clear and bright,
“In churches like Anglican, shining their light.”
It's a piece of a church, a little domain,
A diocese’s part, again and again.
Think of it as a smaller, local crew,
With its own church building, faithful and true!
They have their own services, prayers, and grace,
Within the larger structure, finding their place.
So “parish” means a community small and sweet,
Where believers gather, with faith complete!
