Correction on Holyrood House.
Dom Augustine (Whitfield), the [[abbot]] of the Monastery of Mount Royal from 1963 until retirement, once remarked to St. [[John Maximovitch]] that it was difficult to promote Western Rite Orthodoxy, whereupon the saint replied: "Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies." [http://www.christminster.org/history.htm]

Royal" at Hieromonk David's monastery, Holyrood, in Florida. Hieromonk David utilizes the propers used in compiled by Mount Royal monastery, and is preparing for publication of the Eastern Archdiocese books of the [[Holy Synod of Milan]]Mount Royal use.
