A judge has ordered the parishioners who have been holding vigil at the closed St. Frances X. Cabrini church in Scituate for the past 10 years to vacate the church by next Friday, June 5.

On Friday, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Edward Leibensperger denied the emergency motion filed by the Friends of St. Frances X. Cabrini to suspend the injunction barring the parishioners from entering the church by May 29 pending an appeal.

In his denial of the Friends’ motion, Leibensperger pushed back the order to vacate the Hood Street church by a week to June 5 at 5 p.m.

“I can’t even comment on that,” Maryellen Rogers, one of the leaders of the Friends of St. Frances, said Friday when asked if the group will adhere to the judge’s order and leave the church by June 5.
