Get ready for an action-packed, full-color comic book biography that brings to life the inspiring story of Father Nelson Baker, priest of the Diocese of Buffalo, New York and founder of OLV Charities. After converting to Catholicism at 9 years old, Nelson was determined to follow God’s will in his life, under the watchful care of Our Lady. Initially he became a successful businessman, but God had bigger plans for Nelson.

God called him to open his generous heart to the poor and disadvantaged youth of Buffalo, becoming a father to the fatherless and establishing a “City of Charity” for the poor and most defenseless in society. Readers will be captivated by the heart of a loving pastor who spent his entire life for others, becoming a true apostle of charity.

A Fast and Fun Read!

This is such a creative way to introduce children to the remarkable Father Baker! Not only informative, but a truly enjoyable book about a WNY legend. The baseball theme throughout makes Father Baker much more relatable for kids, while still showcasing his faith in Our Lady of Victory and his love of the children he saved. Get it, you won't regret it!

Father Baker Deserves to be a Saint!

From the moment I turned the first page, I couldn't put down Father Baker's comic. The story of his youth - and journey to Priesthood - were incredible and inspiring. l loved the illustrations used in the book ... very eye-catching. Father Baker's devotion to Our Lady of Victory is remarkable and I was blown away that he built a Basilica to honor her. We need MORE people like Father Baker in the world. I will pray for his Canonization and I hope to visit his City of Charity one day. God bless Father Baker!!!
