The Hollola Evangelical Lutheran Parish is the oldest parish in the Päijät-Häme region, with historical roots dating back to the late 13th century. Today, the Hollola Parish operates in the area of four municipalities and includes, in addition to the main parish of Hollola and its Vesikansa area, the chapel parishes of Hämeenkoski, Kuhmoinen, Kärkölä, and Padasjoki.

Within the Hollola Parish, there are, among other things, six churches and several parish homes and retreat centers / camp facilities. The over 500-year-old medieval stone church in the Hollola village is the oldest building in the area.

Sovituksenkirkko (The Church of Reconciliation), located in the Hollola municipal center, which was inaugurated in 2010, is one of the newest churches in Finland.

The parish has approximately 22,000 members. Timo Huttunen has served as the parish vicar since 2019.
