Denomination: Roman Catholic
Our Lady Of The Airways Parish Church was borne out of the need for the Catholic faithful of Malton to have a place of worship. Malton was part of Toronto Township and was called Malton Police Village. Before there was a Malton parish, the few inhabitants of this Village would travel to other parishes, notably St. Patrick's Church in Wildfield, established in 1830. Wildfield is now a part of Brampton. A land for the airport was purchased by the Toronto Port Authority in 1937 in the Malton vicinity. Thus was built the Malton International Airport (presently called the Pearson International Airport).
Darcel Avenue became the new address of Our Lady Of The Airways Parish Church. The Most Reverend Philip Pocock officially blessed the new Church in 1971. Later on, the Church structure was extended to accommodate the growing number of Catholic families settling in the area. Its present form was completed in 1978. The seating accommodation is 950 and the basement hall can hold 200.
Our Lady Of The Airways Parish Church in Malton became part of the City of Mississauga when the city was incorporated in 1974.
