A Catholic parish consists of a pastor and a local group of Catholics who gather at a common house of worship. In areas with a high concentration of Catholics, there can be several parishes in a single town.

A parish is an organizational unit in the Catholic Church made up of many families. May parishes make up a diocese. Many diocese make up a conference. Many conferences make up the Catholic Church.
Thank you for asking a serious sincere question. Yours may be the first one today.

A Catholic Parish is a area set up by your local arch-diocese. Each parish has usually one church. Most catholics get involved with missions and other events in their parish.

A parish is an administrative subdivision of a diocese (an archdiocese is a supervising diocese of others in a geographic area, but is still a diocese in its own right).
A diocese is the area led by a bishop, one who is in union with the other bishops and the Bishop of Rome.
The parish is led by a priest under the authority of the local bishop.

A parish is kind of a unit. You have a church, and a priest (or more than one) and the people who belong to that church are the parish.

It's the area around a Catholic church where the congregation lives.

It is a building where Catholics worship- and also the people who worship there.
