St. Elias Church
Byzantine Catholic, Greek Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Melkite Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, Greek Catholic, Eastern Rite
We are the Orthodox Christians of the Byzantine rite of the Melkite Patriarchate of Antioch,"where they were first called Christians" (Acts 11:26). If you are looking for Apostolic Tradition (2 Thes 2:15; 1 Cor 11:2), if you are looking for the Orthodox Christian Faith of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, if you are looking for Jesus, then, as Jesus said, "Come and See" (John 1:39). See, hear, smell, taste the ancient Apostolic Catholic Church "where they were first called Christians," still alive 2,000 years later, even right here in the Bay Area!
