On October 3, 2011, a new pastor was elected to the Lohja parish, who is the forty-first in Lohja. The first pastor named Ingvaldus led the parish of Lohja as early as the Catholic period 1323-1381. The new pastor Juhani Korte moved to Lohja from Karkkila, where he worked for the church for more than 22 years. Juhani Korte, who is from Jyväskylä and is now in his 51st year, got his first contact with Lohja already in the 1980s when he was a theological trainee in the pastoral elections held in Lohja.
