Judge: 11-Year Church Vigil Must Stop

A judge has ordered a vigil inside a closed Scituate church in Massachusetts to stop after nearly 11 years. St. Frances X. Cabrini Church in Scituate was pegged for closure in 2004 but parishioners refused to leave, holding a round-the-clock vigil that has lasted over a decade. The Boston archdiocese filed a civil suit against the Friends of St. Frances in Norfolk County earlier this year; the parishioners have been ordered to vacate the church by June 5.
