Our Patron. Our Inspiration. Our Intercessor.
Saint Elias (Elijah), the great prophet of the Old Testament, is a powerful intercessor and a model of faith, courage, and zeal for God. He defended the true worship of the one God and performed mighty signs through divine grace. He was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire, a sign of God’s glory.
