Biography

Johann von Luce devoted decades to the Kudjape parish on Saaremaa, guiding parishioners through changing times, keeping meticulous records, and supporting farmers through pastoral counseling.

He championed schooling, strengthened catechism instruction, and kept close ties with neighbouring congregations; his grave in Kudjape Cemetery honors the steady care he offered to the island community.
