.Catholic AnswerOfficially, there is no real term "parish Priest" but it is usually used to designate a priest that works in a parish as opposed to a priest in a monastery, or teaching school, or a missionary, etc. There are dozens of jobs that a priest could be doing, and working in the parish is just one of them. Most "parish priests" are diocesan priests, in other words they are attached to the local bishop and do not belong to a religious order, although there are some Order priests doing parish work.
For most priests it is a parish. But there are priests that look after other things and are not associated with a particular parish. Some work in chaplaincy roles in places like universities or hospitals or prisons. Some are members of an order that does not work in parishes, but work within their own community of priests. Some priests have official roles within a diocese.
