It was in year 2009 when Paul and I became group study buddies in the seminary

He was my classmate, neighbor and friend at the seminary of St Vincent in Pennsylvania.

 It was in year 2009 when we we were introduced to each other. As the semester unfolded, we became studymates and monastic walkmates. Since our rooms at the monastery of St Vincent were adjacent to each other, we became buddies. 

We would go and sneak out from the monks refectory to the dining hall of the college to take our lunch together whenever we would see that the food served for monks at the refectory for monks of the seminary was not pleasurable. 

 He belonged to the Benedictine monastery of St Vincent Archabbey. Bro John Paul Heiser, OSB must be in his diaconate year now.
