"From Businessman to Believer: The Seminary"

Before he was Father Baker, he was a Civil War veteran and successful Buffalo businessman who had everything except a sense of purpose.

In this episode of Father Baker Retold, we follow young Nelson Baker through the seven years that changed everything: walking away from a thriving grain business, entering Our Lady of Angels Seminary despite his family’s doubts, surviving a near-fatal illness, and making a whispered promise before a statue of Our Lady of Victory in Paris that would one day give Lackawanna its Basilica. Along the way, you’ll meet a seminarian who sang tenor, recited Poe, kept a strict oatmeal diet, and wasn’t afraid to argue his faith.

It’s the story of a man who wasn’t born a saint. He became one, one faithful choice at a time.

Featuring special guest Grady Connolly, author of “Basilicas: A Pilgrim’s Guide to America’s Most Remarkable Catholic Churches.”
