One of my heroes of inspiration is Father Flanagan, the Irish priest who established Boys Town in Nebraska. Father Flanagan’s mission began with five orphaned boys and grew to become one of the most prestigious mission programs in the world. There currently is a movement to canonize Father Flanagan http://64.176.101.149/index.htm. If you wish to learn more about Father Flanagan, please visit the Boys Town website: http://www.girlsandboystown.org/aboutus/history/index.asp#Journal.

“There are no bad boys. There is only bad environment, bad training, bad example and bad thinking.”
