The parish of St. Elias Church is composed of a vibrant, growing community of Orthodox Christians committed to serving God and preserving the faith handed down to us in unbroken succession from the Apostles. Services are in English, and all are welcome. The parish started more than 100 years ago by Syrian immigrants; today, our members can trace their heritage to a variety of countries, including Russia, Greece, Egypt and Germany. The annual Mediterranean Festival is a celebration of culture/history and a feast for the senses.
