Heart of a Servant – The Father Flanagan Story

Description:

Father Edward J. Flanagan had a deep understanding of the struggles of troubled boys who had turned to crime due to abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Having faced his own hardships, Flanagan was determined to create a community these boys could call home, and receive the tools and guidance needed to develop real-world social skills for a successful future. His frequent outspoken stance against injustice and his dedication to helping the forgotten inspired thousands. In fact, many former Boys Town residents were so impacted by his care that they named him as their next of kin, earning him the title of "America’s No. 1 War Dad."
