Daybreak TV Productions of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has recently released a DVD of “Legacy of Victory: Remembering Father Baker.” This documentary, funded by The Vincent and Harriet Palisano Foundation, looks at the life of Monsignor Nelson H. Baker, who has been named a Servant of God by the Roman Catholic Church.

Monsignor Nelson H. Baker, more commonly known to Western New Yorkers as Father Baker, was a strong advocate for the rights of the disadvantaged. This group included the poor, homeless children, unwed mothers and the sick. Now, a documentary has been produced by Daybreak TV Productions of the Diocese of Buffalo’s Office of Communications so that young and old alike, Western New Yorkers and those outside the area and even outside the country, can learn more about the man who one day may become the first American-born male saint.
