Youth Care
With such tremendous publicity, Father Flanagan was able to turn his efforts from fund-raising to developing his youth care ideas. After World War II he traveled to Japan, Asia, and Europe to talk about his ideas for youth care. He died in 1948 of a heart attack while traveling in Berlin, Germany. |
