The name was Oskar until 1962 when it was changed to Oscar.[2] There are five churches in Oscar Parish:; Oscar's Church, Gustaf Adolf Church, Djurgårdskyrkan, Olaus Petri Church and Oscars Lillkyrka.[3] Since 2002, the Oscar Parish has had a well-developed exchange of friends with Martin Luther Kirchengemeinde in Zeuthen, Berlin, Germany.[4]
