Western Rite work and Services: fixed link
==Western Rite work and Services==
The monastery has been [[Western Rite]] for virtually the whole of its existence. Originally using the Tridentine liturgy with Overbeck's modifications (which combined forms the basis of the [[Liturgy of St . Gregory]],) the monastery began the pioneering work of translating the services of the [[Sarum Rite]], a process that took over two decades. In 1993, the ''Medieval Monastic Psalter'' was published in a series of over thirty volumes, employing the traditional language used in the West for centuries in an Orthodox text. The texts contain all the parts needed to employ the full cycle of services and Divine Liturgy used in the pre-schism Sarum Rite, thus making the texts the first completely translated pre-schism Western liturgies in centuries.
The monastery continues to sponsor Western rite initiatives and missions in the Archdiocese through the provision of texts and translations provided on the basis of need, and also guides the Western Rite missions of the [[Holy Synod of Milan|Milan Synod]] and assists with those who seek information about the ancient Western rite. The monastery itself still uses the Sarum rite for the daily cycle of services.
