In this powerful episode of Father Baker Retold, we journey back to the Great Depression — a time of despair that revealed the boundless compassion of Venerable Nelson Baker. As thousands struggled to survive, Father Baker’s “City of Charity” became a beacon of hope, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and healing the sick. But his impact went deeper. Through his groundbreaking outreach to Buffalo’s Black community and the creation of safe homes for working women, he modeled a faith that welcomed all. This episode, which features WKBW-TV journalist Taylor Epps, celebrates Father Baker’s enduring legacy of action, inclusion, and hope when it was needed most.
