Welcome to the Church Expansion Information and Fundraising Page

With God's blessing, the size of our parish increased substantially over the past five years! Average Sunday attendance in 2018 was 140, today it is closer to 200 and we are continuing to grow. With this increase of parishioners, our beautiful cemetary parish is in need of expansion. The newly completed renovation nearly doubled the size of the existing nave and narthex, and has included much needed additional facilities.

Because the expansion of the church essentially eliminated our Parish Hall, a new construction is proposed to create a new hall to foster fellowship within our church community. The full walk-out basement will provide us with much needed space to hold church school classes. A larger bookstore and church sponsored events are among the future possibilities.  

Giving is easy - we have set up three simple methods to accommodate your preferred way of donating:
 
    1. Envelopes at Church - pick up a donation envelope in either our onsite bookstore or on the candle counter.  Clearly mark the envelope "Building Fund" and leave your donation in the basket on the counter.

    2. Mail - send donations to the fund to:
      St. Xenia Orthodox Church Building Fund
      P.O. Box 147
      Methuen, MA  01844-0147
                      
    3. Paypal - use your paypal account, or donate with your credit card
