records on visitations and parish announcement books

[Anton S.]

Подскажите, что такое "records on visitations" и "parish announcement books"? Речь идёт об Австро-Венгерской империи (точнее, о той её части, которая потом стала Словенией) в годы Первой мировой войны, так что это, должно быть, про католические приходы. Автор текста - словенец, у которого английский явно не родной.

Контекст:
"Archival material kept by the three church archives is of great value as well. ... also important are records on visitations to individual parishes, diaries of priests, their official certificates, reports of parish offices about the sick, killed and missing soldiers, etc. Especially significant are birth, marriage and death registers, parish chronicles, and parish announcement books. Similarly to public archives, church archives also hold a number of small but very important collections, such as collections of photographs."

Parish Announcements Books 1894-1915
Scope and Contents note
These volumes were used by the priest to inform parishioners attending Sunday Masses of the news for
the coming week. These announcements referred to Masses being offered, time of special novenas, dates
of meeting for parish societies, and other announcements.
