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.
