Daybreak TV Productions found local talent eager to participate in the production of Proving Holiness. This was also true for the premiere of the documentary on All Saints Day (Nov. 1) at the Montante Center in Buffalo, N.Y. Music composer John Adamo arranged for an opening ceremony performed by Jena Abati, of Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart, accompanied by Beata Golec, of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. The moving rendition of The ‘Panis Angelicus’, the penultimate strophe of the hymn Sacris solemnis written by St. Thomas Aquinas, led into the dramatic opening of Proving Holiness.

The evening was one to remember for Daybreak and the Diocese of Buffalo. Bishop Kmiec remarked, "It’s exciting that our community can experience the steps of canonization firsthand through the cause of Msgr. Nelson Baker. ‘Proving Holiness’ offers inspiration and a clear understanding of how sanctity is determined."

Msgr. Nelson H. Baker has a special place in the local consciousness, as he made a significant impact in Lackawanna, N.Y. The other sections include Archbishop Oscar Romero, Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, and St. Faustina. Kevin Keenan, director of the Office of Communications of the Diocese of Buffalo was master of ceremonies at the premiere, "Saints have been described as ‘ordinary people’ doing extraordinary things. The same can be said of ‘Proving Holiness’. It has a lush look and feel of a big studio production, and is the latest in a long line of groundbreaking productions from Daybreak TV. ‘Proving Holiness’ will be an excellent resource for anyone interested in the canonization process."
