By the end of the decade, approximately thirty thousand clergy had been forced to leave France, and several hundred who did not leave were executed. Most French parishes were left without the services of a pastor and deprived of the sacraments. Any non-juring priest faced the guillotine or deportation to French Guiana. By Easter 1794, few of France's forty thousand churches remained open; many had been closed, sold, destroyed, or converted to other uses on government orders.
