Show Notes
Pope Francis declares Father Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, venerable, moving him closer to sainthood. Flanagan, an Irish-born priest, started Boys Town in Nebraska in 1917 as a home for at-risk boys, which grew into a national model for helping vulnerable kids. His work inspired the 1938 film Boys Town. The Vaticans saints office reviewed his holy life, and the next step is beatification, which requires proof of a miracle through his prayers.
