Meet Venerable Nelson Baker
The Our Lady of Victory Shrine near Buffalo, New York was founded by Fr. Nelson Baker, who was born on February 16, 1842. At the time of his death, it was known as a “city of charity” and included a home for unwed mothers, a boy’s orphanage, a hospital, and more. Msgr. David LiPuma joins us to share his story.
