This church proudly embraces its roots in the Maronite Rite, a branch stemming from the ancient Antiochene Tradition of Catholicism. Honoring the revered Old-Testament prophet, St. Elias (Elijah), the church features a striking stained glass window portraying this patron saint overlooking the altar.
As one of the twenty-two churches united with the universal Catholic Church under the leadership of Pope Francis, Saint Elias Maronite Church stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Maronite Rite.
