Just in time for the gift-giving season, we have new St. Elia “Spirit Wear” T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, and hoodies available for pre-order with a fresh new design. Click here to download the order form, then return or mail your order with cash or check payable to St. Elia no later than Sunday, Dec. 1. Items will be available at church for pick-up 10 days before Christmas. Don’t miss out!
NEW: These items (and previous “Spirit Wear” items) are now available at our St. Elia Teespring Store year-round, including additional style and color options. This is especially for our extended St. Elia family and friends living outside of the area who are not able to order and pick up at church. (Please note that prices are higher online and there is a shipping charge, so pre-ordering at church during “Spirit Wear” sale times is still the best, whenever possible.)
Dear St. Elia Parish Family,
It’s a new 2019-2020 Parish Education School year!
With the pastoral blessing of Father Don, the St. Elia Church School Program will begin Sunday, Nov. 3. We may be starting later, but we are still keeping with the same amount of 25 classes. If there are to be any changes to this 2019-20 Church School calendar, you will be notified.
Our Church School Program will meet on Sunday following Holy Communion. I am asking for your cooperation to please have your child(ren) remain in their pew until Father Don has taken the Holy Chalice back into Altar and over to the Table of Preparation.
I have enclosed a 2019-20 Church School calendar to be posted in your home and also available on our Parish website.
Popadia Donna—Coordinator

Our Orthodox faith teaches us that every family is a “little Church.” A family who prays, fasts, and attends Divine Liturgical Services will grow in strength, peace and love as a family unit. Our Church School program will teach our children/teens to understand, experience, and express their faith in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I sincerely ask our St. Elia community to become committed to our religious education programs. Let the exciting new season begin!!!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Don
(Middle and High Students)
