Clear Creek Monastery
5804 West Monastery Road
Hulbert, OK 74441-5698
Phone 918-772-2454
Clear Creek monastery is a member of the Solesmes Congregation. The essential of their vocation is a life of prayer. They do not assume pastoral charge of parishes nor run schools. But in the Rule of Saint Benedict, hospitality has an important place, and Benedictine tradition has always considered this to be a part of the monastery's role in the Church. So, besides their deep communion with the life of the Church and their prayer for all, the monks of Clear Creek receive guests for retreats and help the faithful participate in their life of prayer and recollection, especially through the Divine Office.
Guests at Clear Creek are invited to assist at Mass and at some of the "Hours" of the Divine Office: Prime, Terce, Sext, None and Vespers. Those staying at the men’s guest house may also attend, if they wish, Compline, Matins and Lauds.

Since this time, people from around the world have been accepted into The Association and public devotions to The Infant Jesus of Prague have been offered at The National Shrine. From its establishment in 1949, The Shrine of The Infant Jesus of Prague has been designated The National Shrine of The Infant Jesus of Prague.
