The Friends of Father Baker Reception is one of the Our Lady of Victory (OLV) Organizations' two main fundraising events. Each year, over 350 well-wishers from Western New York and beyond attend this cocktail reception to support the programs and services at Baker Victory Services, Our Lady of Victory Homes of Charity, Our Lady of Victory National Shrine & Basilica, and Our Lady of Victory Elementary School.  In addition, the evening pays tribute to two individuals who, like Father Baker, have dedicated their life's work to serving children and families in need.
