History

The Path to Sainthood

Nearly sixty years after his death, Monsignor Edward Flanagan, founder of the famed Boys Town (Omaha) is being vetted for sainthood. The Vatican has judiciously viewed collected historical documents and personal testimonies pertaining to the Catholic priest's life. But making a saint is no easy process though it is rich with ancient traditions and Monsignor Flanagan could be Nebraska's first.
