Honoring Father Flanagan’s Irish Roots

Did you know that Boys Town's founder, Father Edward J. Flanagan, was deeply influenced by his Irish heritage and the spirit of St. Patrick?

This St. Patrick's Day, we celebrate not just the patron saint of Ireland but also an Irishman who changed the lives of countless children.

His dedication to society's forgotten youth was so profound that it led him on a path to sainthood, inspired by Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick.
