I walked 30 miles on pilgrimage to the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Victory in Lackawanna, New York built by the great Venerable Father Baker.

Having spent some time in the Buffalo area, everyone has been telling me some incredible stories about Father Baker and his cause for canonization so I decided to research him for myself and bought a couple books about him. However, the most beautiful summary of his life can be found on his website, fatherbaker.org.
