Cistercian Youth in Vatican

  1. The second seminarian from left is from Slovenia. He was actually present on my confirmation, because he was a secretary of Abbot who confirmed me.

  2. Are the monks with the white collars all from Holy Cross Abbey (Heilegencruz Abbtei) in Austria? I recognize their collar. They don't have the hood.

  3. The ones with the white collars are from the Cistercian Abbey in Dallas, Texas and are here to study for awhile. The community is mostly Hungarian, but the younger monks are American (I went to college with them) and are now studying in the Vatican.
