rectorship
Leading a parish
Rectorship is the position or tenure of a rector—the head of certain universities, colleges, or parishes.
The term refers both to the office itself and the period during which someone holds it: During her rectorship, the college expanded significantly.
In ecclesiastical contexts, it denotes leadership of a parish or religious institution.
