The fraternity of St. Thomas Aquinas originates from a crucial event in the saint's life.
A religious congregation, called the Angelica Militia, a group whose purpose is the preservation of purity, or regaining it if lost but also chastity and charity.
This holy Militia is armed by angels who fight for the Victory of the spirit over the flesh.
It spread with marvelous rapidity throughout Europe, and continues to branch out today.

Those who belong to it also stand out to the eye as wears the sacred caterpillar or St. Thomas medal or both.
The militia is recognized by the catholic church and the popes Gregory XIII, Sixtus V, Innocent X, Benedict XIII, and Pius VII recognized to this fraternity the following induelgences:
