Sainthood cause to begin for Boys Town founder Father Flanagan

Flanagan dedicated much of his life to ministering to orphans and troubled youth, and is best remembered for establishing in 1917 the Omaha orphanage Father Flanagan’s Boys Home.

 

The archdiocese will formally open the canonization process — which is often lengthy — with a March 17 prayer service at Boys Town’s Immaculate Conception Church.
