Christ is Among Us!

Serving the San Francisco Bay Area, St. Elias Melkite Catholic Church invites you to attend our worship services. We are a faith community of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, an Eastern Catholic Church of Byzantine rite in full communion with the Holy See in Rome. We trace our apostolic lineage back to the followers of Jesus in the ancient city of Antioch where "they were first called Christians" (Acts 11:16). Our services are in English, but you may hear some responses and hymns chanted in Greek or Arabic following the beautiful hymnography of the East.

"Come and see"! (John 1:46)
