A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a priest, often termed a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount.

In church governance, a diocese or bishopric is the ecclesiastical district under the jurisdiction of a bishop.
Like other dioceses, the Diocese of Rome has a cathedra, the official seat of the Bishop of Rome.
