For the next three decades, missionary priests celebrated the sacraments in the fields and private homes of Warren.

NORTH CANTON — Brother Joseph Power can’t enjoy food right now. “But I enjoy people.

“Our goal is to have the best turnaround record in the nation,” Walsh Head Coach Jim Dennison. That was the goal Jim Dennison and his 2009 Cavaliers set.
