OLV Charities

Your generosity helps continue Father Nelson Baker’s legacy of caring for those in need, a mission that began more than 160 years ago and continues to strengthen the minds, bodies & spirits of those in need throughout our region.

As the philanthropic arm of the OLV Organizations, OLV Charities secures vital support for its mission partners: OLV Human Services, OLV National Shrine & Basilica, Camp Turner and the Saint Gianna Pregnancy Outreach Center. In addition, it promotes devotion to the Blessed Mother under the title of Our Lady of Victory and furthers Venerable Nelson Baker’s Cause for Canonization.

Because of you, we are able to provide hope, dignity, and care to so many in our community. Thank you for supporting OLV Charities and making a difference in the lives of so many in Western New York.
