Parishioners who have kept vigil at a shuttered Catholic church in Scituate for more than 11 years were dealt a potentially crushing blow this week, when the state’s highest court declined to review a lower court ruling ordering them to leave the property.
The group keeping a round-the-clock vigil at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church said they were notified of the Supreme Judicial Court’s decision on Thursday.
“The faithful of St. Frances continue to ask the Cardinal to reconsider and show us the mercy that Pope Frances has indicated is the way of the Gospel,” the Friends of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini said in a statement on their Facebook page.
“At this juncture, The Friends of St. Frances are taking this decision under advisement with their attorney and reviewing as a community potential options and next steps.”
