From Henri Mühle, Nov 27 2020: (Start)
a(n) is also the sum over all parabolic Catalan objects associated with parabolic quotients of the symmetric group S_n. The parabolic quotients of S_n are indexed by compositions of n. If alpha=(a_1,a_2,..., a_r) is a composition of n, consider the Dyck path v_alpha = N^{a_1}E^{a_1}N^{a_2}E^{a_2}...N^{a_r}E^{a_r}. The number of parabolic Catalan objects Cat(alpha) associated with alpha equals the number of Dyck paths of semilength n weakly above v_alpha.
For instance, if n=3, there are four compositions: alpha_1=(3), alpha_2=(2,1), alpha_3=(1,2), alpha_4=(1,1,1). Then, a(3) = Sum_{i=1..4} Cat(alpha_i) = 1+3+3+5 = 12.
