Welcome to St. Elijah Orthodox Cathedral

Located in Merrillville, Indiana, St. Elijah Serbian Orthodox Cathedral is dedicated to serving the Serbian Orthodox faithful of Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicagoland area, and has been since its inception in 1964. We are part of the New Gracanica Midwestern Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

In addition to our weekly Divine Liturgy services, St. Elijah offers a variety of comprehensive educational programs that focus on our youth and their understanding and practical application of the moral and spiritual values of the Serbian Orthodox faith.

We invite you to peruse our website and learn more about our church, our faith, and our commitments to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
