## Resource

Father Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, is officially on the fast track to sainthood after being named “Venerable Servant of God” by the Catholic Church — a major milestone recognizing his extraordinary life of virtue. The Archdiocese of Omaha celebrates with a special Mass this Sunday led by Archbishop Michael McGovern, livestreamed for those who can’t attend in person. His journey began in 2012 and has spanned years of Vatican review, culminating in this recognition. Next up? Beatification — requiring proof of a miracle — followed by canonization, which demands a second miracle. His enduring legacy through Boys Town makes this path not just possible, but deeply meaningful. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
