SS Philip And James Parish

On July 1, 2010, at the request of His Excellency Edwin O'Brien the 15th Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Dominican Friars of the Province of Saint Joseph were entrusted with the pastoral care of Saints Philip and James Parish and the ministry of the Johns Hopkins University Catholic Community. This new venture, a true union of ministries serving both residents of the Charles Village area and students of Johns Hopkins became known as Saints Philip and James Catholic Church and University Parish. Soon after the merger of ministries, the Johns Hopkins Newman Center was moved to the lower level of the parish rectory and the university students became a vibrant part of parish life with two Dominican friars serving the parish as dedicated chaplains to the university's Catholic community. In 2011, the parish also became home to the Baltimore Frassati Fellowship which serves young adults in their 20's and 30's of many parishes throughout the Baltimore area under the pastoral care of the Dominican Friars. The parish is historic and young, faithful and vibrant, stable and growing, welcoming all who seek to know, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We foster and nurture a truly Catholic Christian community with worship, prayer, faith-sharing, and community service. Our parish home is one of the most beautiful and unique churches in Baltimore, certainly architecturally, but even more so in the diversity and faithfulness of our parishioners.
