About Saint Xenia Orthodox Church
St. Xenia Orthodox Church is a Russian Orthodox parish in Methuen, Massachusetts, serving a large and growing community of believers from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Under the leadership of Bishop Michael (Crowley), the parish welcomes visitors of all backgrounds—Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike—to experience Orthodox worship conducted entirely in English. The church emphasizes community fellowship, offering a simple meal together after Sunday services that all visitors are invited to join. Located at 170 N. Lowell Street, St. Xenia's provides service books in English to help newcomers follow the Divine Liturgy, and the clergy and parish members are eager to introduce themselves and answer questions about the Orthodox faith and parish life.
