Who? That's what I said. So read on and learn.
St. Pachomius is the father of spiritual communal life. In his time, 300 A.D., religious people didn't live together. There were only hermits. A person living a solitary religious life is called an eremite. A hermit isn't necessarily religious. An eremite is a religious hermit.
So many others came to join him, that he had to make up some sort of organization. This was the beginning of living a communal life. Anybody can live in community, e.i hippies. Religious people living together is said to be living a cenobite life. Hence, St. Pachomius is the founder of cenobite monasticism.
Father Kevin is a Trappist and was celebrating the founder of his monastic life. That's why the Mass was in celebration for the life of St. Pachomius.
