ORANGEVALE- Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a former priest at an Orangevale church for alleged child abuse. This comes after other allegations involving the priest surfaced in Wisconsin.

Father Robert Marsicek, a priest at Divine Savior Catholic Church in Orangevale from 1987 until 2001, is now under investigation for allegations of child abuse.

27 year old Catherine Knepshield, who just a child at the time, remembers “Father Bob.”

“He’d have a boat, he’d take all the families out on the lake,” said Catherine.
