In 1917, after years of working with Omaha’s homeless men,
Father Flanagan
opened Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home, which later became Boys Town, and championed the causes of children across the country.
Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home accepted all boys, regardless of their race, creed or cultural background. The priest offered every child a new start in life, and he went to great lengths to seek out and bring in the neediest and most helpless — even boys who were in prison for serious crimes. Father Flanagan died in 1948, but his successors have faithfully carried on his legacy and the mission he started at Boys Town. Today, at 100 years strong, Boys Town still follows many of the same principles and practices that originated with Father Flanagan’s vision.
