From its early beginnings in the 1960s, the mission of Polish Millennium House has always been to bring the community together, cultivate Polish culture and Christian values. Almost fifty years later the centre associates a variety of smaller community organisations and clubs and is a place where concerts, festivals and other cultural events are organised on a regular basis.
