Abbey Work Day

Published On: March 5th, 2016Categories: News

Another productive and successful Abbey Work Day drew the largest crowd ever – over 500 workers!

“Our heartfelt thanks go out to all who made Work Day 2016 such a success. It would be impossible to calculate the value of all the work done. We monks are very touched, not only by the generous help received, but by the spirit of faith in which all was accomplished. May God bless all of you and may Our Lady of the Annunciation be close to you.” +Abbot Philip Anderson, Our Lady of Clear Creek

Title

Building Something Beautiful For God –
To Last A Thousand Years

Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey is a Benedictine community belonging to the Solesmes Congregation and, like other monasteries of the Solesmes Congregation, is to be counted among the institutes entirely ordered towards contemplation. It was founded in 1999 from the Abbey of Our Lady of Fontgombault in France and is located in the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Clear Creek became an abbey in 2010 and counts 55 monks, who devote themselves to God alone in the hidden life, in silence and solitude, in constant prayer and willing penance.

After twenty years of existence, we are happy, by the grace of God, to have completed two large buildings and a sizable portion of our abbatial church. We completed the “Chapter House” in 2023 to accommodate the growing number of monks and provide a Sacristy, Infirmary, classrooms and the Chapter itself. Please help us continue this arduous, but important work for the glory of God.
