"In recent years, through the revised Code of Canon Law (1983) and Church and papal documents — more particularly among these Christifideles Laici (1988) — new perspectives of what 'parish' is are emerging.

Wherever people come from geographically, gathered in the Eucharist they are ‘parish’, a worshipping community."
