Among the 9 causes of sainthood possibilities was the American priest of Buffalo, Father Nelson Baker, known by the locals as the Apostle of Charity. His history spanned 16 February 1842 to 29 July 1936. Baker is one step closer to sainthood but there’s a long way to go. He’s now recognized as living a life of Heroic Virtue. We now address the priest as the Venerable Servant of God Father Nelson Baker.

Hello! I’m Frances Alonzo and a saw a wonderful picture of the Way of the Cross in blues and reds on your story titled “World Day of Vocations 2010”. Would you please share with me where you got that photo? Is there a site I can see others? Do you know who is the artist? Thanks, Frances
HI Frances, I think the image comes from the Vatican website but I don’t recall with certitude where I got the image. Regrets …
