On Saturday, June 4, the Baltimore Frassati Fellowship hosted a day-hike with an outdoor Mass.

The Dominican Friars who minister to the parish of Sts. Philip and James in Baltimore, MD as well as the campus ministry at Johns Hopkins University recently started a new Frassati Fellowship for young adults in their twenties and thirties. The group hosts monthly holy hours with praise and worship, preaching, adoration, and a coffee hour, as well as service trips and other events.

According to their website, the Baltimore Frassati Fellowship "honors Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925), a member of the Dominican laity whose ministry and spirituality were centered on the Eucharist and helping the poor. His prayer life was driven by a great love of Jesus and Mary, and centered on a call to action - a simple commitment to radically change the world - one act of charity at a time. 'Frassati' is a fellowship designed to grow young adults of Baltimore in their Catholic Faith, we hope to reach all those in need of prayer and an active Christian life.  We welcome people of all ages and faiths to come grow closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ."

Student brother Gabriel Torretta, O.P. is a summer fellow at First Things. In an essay published by the "On the Square" segment of First Things, Br. Gabriel discusses the deeper themes of the recent Japanese film Thirteen Assassins.

"Ultra-violence, as A Clockwork Orange’s protagonist reminds us, is an art. Takashi Miike agrees, judging from his new remake of Eiichi Kudo’s Thirteen Assassins (Jusan nin no shikaku). The thirteen warriors slash, spin, and sever their way through hordes of butter-fingered baddies, but the movie is not just a mindless display of butchery; somewhere between the rivers of blood and the piles of bodies, Miike has managed to hide a serious, if perhaps unintentional, discussion of virtue in a virtue-less world."
