Generally speaking, a parish is a group of members of a specific church. In the USA all its States have churches and thus parishes. States also have other terms to identify themselves. They may not use the term "parish" but it's clear that members of Islamic and Jewish peoples, to give a better perspective on this, have members who gather to worship at temples and synagogues. All US States have parishes for the major religions in the USA.
