For more than 170 years, OLV Human Services has carried forward the healing ministry of Venerable Nelson Baker, growing from his early care for orphaned and vulnerable children into one of Western New York’s largest and most comprehensive human service agencies.

Our mission is enduring: “to prepare, support, and empower individuals to achieve their life goals.” Today, hundreds of dedicated professionals serve children, adults and families through a wide range of residential, educational and mental health programs, offering hope, dignity and care in Father Baker’s name.
