    The church is visually very pleasant, but there are not a single bench around. To sit and watch for a while.

      The distance of Milejów from Sulejów influenced the monks to decide to build a wooden church in Milejów, which was dedicated to Saint Joseph. Probably as a result of invasions and wars, this temple burned down. In 1468, another wooden church was built, dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, which by the decision of Pope Sixtus IV was transferred in 1482 to the pastoral care of the Norbertine Order from Witów. In 1743, the Witów abbey built a third church in Milejów, which it dedicated to the Holy Guardian Angels. This state of affairs lasted until 1819, when Tsar Alexander I abolished the Norbertine Order, taking over the landed estates for the state and entrusting the parish to the care of diocesan priests. Among the many epitaphs decorating the walls of the Milejów church, we find the one dedicated to Fr. Piotr Jankowski, who served as parish priest in the years 1890-1926. It was this priest who contributed to the establishment of the People's House, the Volunteer Fire Department and the current brick church in Milejów, which was consecrated in 1902 by Bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki - the ordinary of the Włocławek diocese. In 1920, with the establishment of the diocese and the subsequent expansion of its borders, Milejów was incorporated into the community of the Łódź Church. It should be noted that Bishop Jan Wawrzyniec Kulik came from Milejów - the third auxiliary bishop of the Łódź diocese since its establishment. A painful chapter in the history of the Milejów parish is the period of World War II. After all, after the "Battle for Piotrków Road", which was an expression of commitment to the fight against the occupier, the Germans murdered many residents of Milejów and villages belonging to the parish. Two priests: Fr. Jan Mikołajczyk and Father Stefan Trzaska were taken to the Dachau concentration camp, where they died.
