Who We Are

We are the Frassati Fellowship of NYC, a Catholic community of young adults in our 20s and 30s helping one another grow in love of God and neighbor in the footsteps of patron, St. Pier Giorgio Frassati.

Our activities consist of service, faith formation, and fellowship across our various ministries—ranging from hikes, Bible studies, holy hours and dinners to retreats, pilgrimages and more.

We are especially blessed to be supported by religious communities in NYC, including the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, the Sisters of Life, and the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph.

We hope to see you soon!
