Usage Note

Parroquial most commonly means 'of or relating to a parish' in the ecclesiastical sense (iglesia parroquial — parish church; escuela parroquial — parish school). It can also carry the figurative English sense of 'narrow-minded' or 'parochial' in thinking, though provinciano is more common for that nuance. It does not change for gender.

Examples

"La fiesta parroquial se celebra cada agosto."

Natural Translation
