La Fraternidad de Agrupaciones Santo Tomás de Aquino (Fasta) es un movimiento de la Iglesia Católica que busca evangelizar la cultura, la familia y la juventud a la luz de la sabiduría de su santo patrono, Tomás de Aquino. Su comunidad de laicos, sacerdotes y consagradas procuran iluminar la cultura desde una vida de formación espiritual y compromiso cotidiano. Los adultos de Fasta se reúnen en pequeñas comunidades de oración y formación llamadas Convivios, en palabra de fray Anibal Fosbery, nuestro Padre Fundador: “Un convivio es la experiencia de Iglesia entendida como una comunidad viva de fe, de los miembros adultos de Fasta, que quiere vivir en un mismo carisma y espiritualidad la gracia de Dios”.
