Fellowhip – Action – Sharing

• Fellowship : “Together in order to learn and help one another”

Born of the experience that young men need to spend time together as men, FAS focuses on friendship and fraternal bonds. Each one needs to be able to call on the others because “a brother relying on another brother is like a indestructible fortress.” Fellowship is the foundation of the group: we laugh, eat and drink together. A celebration of life!

• Action : “Ability to act, to live out one's will by accomplishing something; concrete manifestation of this will”

One of the goals of this project is to develop masculine virtues through action : performing gifts of self, selflessness, courage, physical effort, exercising one's will power, improving decision making skills and building self-knowledge and other key themes. For this reason, FAS includes not only sports but also volunteering (charitable activities, organizing pilgrimages, reaching out to the poorest and other outreach programs).

• Sharing : “Doing something together or having something in common with others”

The core group of the FAS is the household (five or six people who gather for a time of prayer and sharing on a weekly basis). What for ? To build one another up through sharing how the living Word of God acts in our personal lives, a new enthusiasm for the mission, and evangelization. The household is also a place of praise and prayer since the goal of the FAS members is to grow closer to Christ and be more faithful to Him.
