St. Frances in Scituate weathers the storm

The ocean was cresting the sea wall in Scituate, and there was a rumble that sounded like thunder. Not far away, Jon Rogers was sitting in a big easy chair in the vestibule of a Catholic church called St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.

“Barbara Nappa and Caroline Crooker usually do Monday nights,” he was saying, “but they couldn’t do tonight.”

Nothing like using a hurricane to bash the Catholic church

Look, I know you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but how is this church bashing?

Thanks, Kevin, for reporting on St. Frances' vigil and the wonderful, spiritual oasis that is the church and the Community. Community members have deepened their faith by taking an active part in worship services and the functioning of their parish. God Bless!
