A parochial school (also known as a faith school or a sect school) is a type of school which engages in religious education in addition to conventional education. Parochial schools are typically grammar schools or high schools run by churches or parishes. In the United States this is a type of private school.
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).

I think you mean parochial. It is usually used in the phrase parochial school which is a term for local Catholic school. In other contexts, it means narrow and provincial.

Although "parochial" comes from the same root as "parish", it is usually understood as insular or isolated, rather than merely regional or localised
