Clifton Park >> A Catholic priest arrested in April on one charge of endangering the welfare of a child appeared in Clifton Park Town Court on Wednesday and had his case adjourned until July.

Rev. James Michael Taylor, 30, walked into the town’s Public Safety Building with head held high shortly before the 4 p.m. start of court. He was accompanied by his attorney, Daniel Stewart. Neither man commented on the case as they entered the building.

After a request from a member of the Saratoga County District Attorney’s Office, Taylor’s case was continued until July 23.

An assistant district attorney, who said he was not in charge of the case, told Town Judge James Hughes the continuance was needed because more evidence is being processed.
