Prikhody.ru 09/15/2026. A children's football team for boys from 7 to 12 years old was created at the Church of the Prophet Elijah in the city of Koltushi (Leningrad Region). The first lesson took place in mid-September.

Classes are aimed at physical development, team play and moral education of the younger generation. The program includes conversations with a spiritual mentor, according to the Vyborg Diocese’s public page on the VKontakte social network. Trainings are conducted once a week on Sundays by a qualified trainer with extensive teaching experience. You can sign up for the team and get more information here.

Elijah the Prophet has been the patron saint of this village since ancient times: back in 1500, the Ilyinsky Telkuzhsky (Keltushsky) churchyard of the Orekhovsky district with its center in Koltushi was first mentioned in the Scribe Book of the Vodskaya Pyatina.
