Not sure what label you changed... Add "label" to "ctrl" section of "tx_masscalendar_parishes" and clear cache in typo3conf. Then you should get correct labales in select. More details here:

By the way, "eval" property does not exist for "select" elements. You can remove it from your "parish" column. And better use single quotes as double quotes are many times slower in PHP than single quotes.
