WOODBURN — The Rev. Angel Perez is scheduled to appear in Marion County Circuit Court this afternoon on sex crimes allegations.
Perez, the parish priest at St. Luke Catholic Church in Woodburn, is expected to be arraigned at 3 p.m.
The Rev. David Zegar, of St. Andrew Catholic Church in Northeast Portland, served at St. Luke Catholic Church prior to Perez’s assignment. He said he knows the parish and its congregants well.
He told The Oregonian he was “sad for everyone involved.”
“All I can say is I’m so sad,” he said after celebrating Mass this morning. “For now it’s best to let the police conduct their investigation.”
