'Pax huic domui' Peace be to this house By JOSH NEWTONThe monastery resulted from an idea produced by a group of students from the University of Kansas some 30 years ago, who wanted more than time spent at church. Anderson was a member of those students who lived about 25 years at the Benedictine Abbey of Notre Dame in France. Monks moved into the Clear Creek Monastery in 1999, living in other buildings while the residence quarters were under construction.
The next step, said Anderson, will be completion of a large church that will be constructed above their temporary crypt. “Construction may take us two to three years,” said Anderson. For now, the monks look to begin a meaningful, effective prayer time. “This will be a space of freedom for us,” said Anderson. “We will pray more. Monks will be separate, but distinct.” Learn more To learn more about Clear Creek Monastery, visit www.clearcreekmonks.org, or call (918) 772-2454. According to the Web site, guests are invited to assist at Mass and during some of the hours of the divine office.
