The Macedonian church parish in Mississauga was founded in 1979. The first church building was located on 290 Derry Rd West. In 1997 the parish relocated to its Streetsville location, restoring and converting a former art gallery into a church. In 2000 the church fell victim to an arson attack and a large portion of the building was destroyed. After raising funds from the local parish community, the decision came forth to build a new church. Foundations were laid on a new location on September 7, 2002, and was completed in 2004. In the church there is a women's auxiliary, a church choir, a Sunday school with Macedonian language classes, a senior citizens club as well as a folk dance group. Within the lower level of the church building there is a banquet hall. St. Ilija participates in annual cultural city events such as “Carassauga“ The church also owns "St. Ilija Macedonian Park", a 30-acre (120,000 m2) located near Derry Rd & Hurontario St in Mississauga.

Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,
On the eve of our biggest holiday, the Feast of All Holidays, Resurrection of Christ - Easter, let's look back at the past year. But despite the many intense and unexpected difficulties in our entire society and the whole world, we in our Church "St. Ilija ”we can still be thankful to God for all the blessings He gives us all. It is a way we can all connect if we take care to see all things with grateful eyes in God's Providence. We are also grateful to you and to all those who care for and pray to the Holy Prophet Ilija and ask God to help us with your prayers and other support. Your prayers, even at home, mean a lot to us and we pray for you every day. This is a normal and healthy relationship of a mutual Christian community, support with prayer and love that believers send to each other. This has been the case throughout the history of the Church, as it should be today. We will do our best and continue to pray for all. May we all be blessed to love one another and to learn to be more dependent on the Most high God Who loves us intensively in every moment of our lives and to always pray for His mercy to reach every person.
The Covid crisis affected us all. We are thankful to God for listening to us. For most of the past year, the Church was almost closed. Apart from holy services, more on-line or the presence of a small number of people, baptisms, weddings and other celebrations were absent, and thus the income of the Church was significantly reduced. Your help is needed We from the Board of Directors turn to our donors and to you, dear friends, for practical help to help us so that we can fulfill our financial obligations in this terrible pandemic. Every dollar will be considered a blessing. Thank you for your help and may the mercy of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ be on all of you.
AMEN.
Your brethren in Christ,
The Board of Directors of MOC “St. Ilija", Mississauga
We are dedicated to improving the lives of those in our community. Your contribution today helps us make a difference.
