A parish is an ecclesiastical unit in the Catholic and Anglican churches. The parish is the area served by a parish church and a parish priest. In days gone by, institutional charity was practised by the churches, and one of their services was to care for foundlings and other abandoned children. Such children would be parish children and this may be the origin of the surname Parish or Parrish.
