Iconography

We are in the process of installing iconogaphy on the walls and ceilings of our church. We have completed the sanctuary, the dome, and two walls of the transept. The icons are being painted by Greek Iconographers Maria Sigala and Nikolaos Spanopoulos in the classic Byzantine style. The church is open on Thursdays from 11:00am to 1:00pm for anyone wishing to pray or view the icons.

Father's Message

I will be away from the parish from Friday afternoon, 11 July, through Saturday morning, 19 July, so that I can attend the Clergy/Laity Congress in Washington, DC. There will be no services at St. Elias while I am away, but the church will be open at 10:00am on Sunday, 13 July, for anyone who wants to light a candle and say a prayer. We will resume our liturgical schedule with Great Vespers on Saturday, 19 July.
