TLM or Novus Ordo? There doesn't appear to be prayers at the foot of the altar, so I'm assuming Novus Ordo. Excellent chant!

It is the TLM. The monks of Clear Creek have a few special concessions from Rome: one being that if an office precedes Mass, the prayers at the foot of the altar are dropped. Terce usually precedes High Mass at the monastery. The Last Gospel is also usually dropped at High Mass, per PCED's request. The early morning low Masses are in full keeping with the traditional rubrics.

The Roman Catholic Church fully accepts everyone who wishes to deny themselves, pick up their cross, and follow Christ. No matter what the cost. May God bless you and give you His peace.

A freestanding altar! Kudos to the monks of Clear Creek!

I visited this monastery back in August of 2006. They were still working on the foundations of the new monastery at the time. I hear it's finally done and looks wonderful! Too bad the Roman Catholic Church doesn't fully accept LGBT, otherwise I'd still be a very devout Traditional Roman Catholic.

Prayers at the foot of the altar are dropped because of Office of Terce before the Mass, not because of concessions. Concessions are: Secreta aloud, per Ipsum aloud, Pater Noster by choir etc.

Erratum:

"Pope St Paul V" should read "Pope St Pius V"

[christianvs1]

They use the 'Extraordinary Form' of the one current Roman Rite. This means that they use the Missal and Antiphonale of Pope John XXIII (1962). They DO NOT use the Missal of Pope St Paul V, promulgated in 1570, and so, they do NOT use the Tridentine Mass.

[christianvs1]

The simple splendour of God couched in the Beauty of Eternity.... breath-taking! I think the Church is finally returning to Her roots! Thanks!

Absolutely. Guests staying in the residence are allowed to attend all of the hours as well--Matins, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline. If you are just visiting and not staying in the residence, you cannot attend Matins or Compline.

I would recommend anyone to visit.

[Oreosforlunch]

So I am assuming that visitors and pilgrims are allowed to attend the Mass?

I spent five days at this monastery. It is a wonderful place.
