James McDermott, the first Bishop of Buffalo , with the special aim of the sanctification of its members and the care of destitute and wayward boys.

He purchased a tract of land in West Seneca, now the city of Lackawanna, New York Lackawanna , and established St. Joseph s Male Orphan Asylum and, a little later, St. John s Protectory for wayward and destitute boys. Rev. Thomas Hines was appointed superintendent. These institutions struggled on under a heavy debt until 1882, when the Right Rev. Nelson H. Baker,P.A., V.G., LL.D., was placed in charge. Monsignor Baker at once placed the work under the patronage of Our Blessed Lady of Victory and founded the Society of Our Lady of Victory to care for destitute Catholic children.
