HRH THE PRINCE DAVIT OF GEORGIA INVITED TO THE HISTORIC PROCLAMATION OF HM KING FELIPE VI AS KING OF SPAIN
Madrid, 19th June, 2014.
His Royal Highness The Prince David of Georgia, Royal Patron of the Royal Confraternity of Saint Teotónio, was invited to witness the historic proclamation of King Felipe VI as King of Spain, following the abdication of his dearly beloved father, His Majesty King Juan Carlos I, who played a historic role in steering Spain to its modern democratic status.
The proclamation, which included King Felipe's oath to the Spanish Constitution, took place in front of the assembled Cortes Generales, in the Congress of Deputies in Madrid. It was attended by the head of the Spanish government, ministers, and lawmakers, alongside with a select choice of distinguished guests.
The Prince David of Georgia, who resided for a considerable amount of time in Spain, recalled his fondness and deference for the previous King, Juan Carlos I, and his gratitude to the King's generosity in hosting the Georgian Royal Family in his Kingdom until them return to Georgia. Prince David sent his warm, heartfelt congratulations to King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia, wishing them a long, peaceful and prosperous Reign, and asked for God's guidance to help them to lead their subjects forward in difficult and trying economic times.

Initié par le Grand Prieur de la RCST, SE le Comte Ulisses Rolim et profitant de mon séjour sur New York, un rapprochement avec nos Confrères d'outre-Atlantique fut facilité par le Prieur général des USA, SE le Comte Dale J. Leppard.
A l’invitation du Chevalier Alan G. Moore, cette rencontre s’est tenue dans un club newyorkais. C’est dans une ambiance feutrée, qu’une table de qualité fut partagée, elle aura permis un échange fraternel.

C’est au nom de SE le Baron Manuel Duchesne, Prieur principal du Benelux et à titre de Visiteur des Nations que je me suis exprimé et ai transmis les salutations fraternelles au Prieur général des USA ainsi qu’aux Chevaliers de son Prieuré. La réciprocité nous fut adressée.

L’échange qui fut plaisant a permis d’exprimer une volonté partagée de renforcer les échanges entre nos Prieurés respectifs.
Il a été assuré que notre Prieuré se réjouirait d’accueillir tout Confrère américain qui marquerait son désir d’assister à nos investitures ainsi qu'à nos activités.

Il a également été rappelé les liens historiques entre nos pays respectifs ainsi que la gratitude que nous avions envers ceux qui jadis traversèrent l’océan pour libérer notre pays de l’oppression. A cet égard, il a été précisé qu’il serait un honneur pour nous de compléter toute présence à une des nos investitures ou de nos activités par la visite de hauts lieux d’histoire et/ou du souvenir (ville de Bastogne, sites de la bataille des Ardennes, cimetières militaires américains de Neuville en Condroz ou d’Henri-Chapelle).

Mais plus que tout, l’aspect fraternel qui a été au centre de la discussion nous a permis de conclure que nous partagions les mêmes valeurs et idéaux.
Cette première rencontre présage un rapprochement qui ne manquera pas d’être bénéfique à la Confraternité dans son ensemble.

Je terminerai en saluant la grande gentillesse et les attentions du Chevalier Alan G. Morre à mon égard, elles m'ont fait chaud au coeur.

Every first Saturday of each month, members of the Commandery of Saint-Benoit gather at the "Maison des Chevaliers" at the Belgian Priory of the Royal Confraternity of St. Téotonio.
Indeed, it is the Abbey of Chevetogne that Father Simon, Chaplain of the Priory of the Kingdom of Belgium, receives members of the Commandery of Saint-Benoit. Under the leadership of Commander, the Chevalier Philip Peters, there dispenses spiritual training, songs and history of Chivalry. All are involved besides this quest for knowledge and spirituality.
