[[Parish]] | The '''[[Parish]]''' is the fundamental local community of the [[Catholic Church]], where the faithful gather for worship, receive the [[Sacraments of the Catholic Church|sacraments]], and engage in works of [[charity]] under the pastoral care of a priest. Rooted in the Church’s mission to proclaim the [[Gospel]] and unite believers with [[Jesus Christ]] for the [[salvation]] of souls, parishes serve as the primary setting for the celebration of the [[Mass]], administration of sacraments like the [[Eucharist]] and [[Sacrament of Penance|Confession]], and the fostering of communal faith. Established under the authority of a [[bishop]] within a [[diocese]], parishes connect the Church’s 1.39 billion members as of 2023 to the universal Church, led by the [[Pope]] in [[Vatican City]]. | ||
