SCITUATE – A group of parishioners who have held vigil in a closed Scituate church for more than a decade have been ordered to appear in court after refusing to abandon the building earlier this month.
The group, which calls itself the Friends of St. Frances Cabrini, said it was served with a summons Thursday from the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston ordering it to appear in Norfolk Superior Court on Friday afternoon. The group said the archbishop is seeking a preliminary injunction against the group, which has refused to leave the Hood Road church it has been occupied for 10 years despite a threat of legal action from the archdiocese last month.
“The Friends stand ready and prepared to meet this next challenge,” the group said in a statement Friday. “The Friends intend to take advantage of every legal avenue and process available to them to fully defend this civil legal action brought against them by the Archbishop and Archdiocese of Boston. ”
