BRANDON — An Anglican priest, who is the son of a Brandon bishop, is accused of charging more than $190,000 in personal expenses to a church credit card.
Noah James Bernard Njegovan, 30, appeared in Brandon court for the first time on Monday. His next court date is set for May 9.
He is charged with fraud over $5,000. The charge has not been proven in court.
Father Shane Bengry said members of the Anglican Diocese of Brandon have been notified of the accusations.
“We wanted to be as transparent as possible to our congregations… We tried to keep people abreast of what was going on,” said Bengry.
