The Rev. Edward Flanagan, who founded the renowned Boys Town home for at-risk youth in Nebraska, is one step closer to possible sainthood. Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed the “heroic virtues” of Father Flanagan. Later steps toward possible sainthood would include beatification and canonization. Flanagan founded what became Boys Town in Omaha in 1917. He sought to provide a more supportive, less punitive upbringing to at-risk boys. It served thousands of boys before his death in 1948 and has since expanded to other states. His work inspired an Oscar-winning portrayal by actor Spencer Tracy in the 1938 movie “Boys Town.”
