I’ve been discerning vocation and I’m very attracted to the benedictine life. I intend to have a vocational experience in a vetus ordo monastery (like Clear Creek). However, I’m worried about the reaction of my family. How often can monks see their families? Are they allowed to leave the monastery in any occasion?
 
You’ll have to speak with the vocations person at the order you are looking into. Different orders have different rules in this regard.
 
The Clear Creek monks do not make home visits, however, families are certainly encouraged to visit! As an educated guess, I bet there will be about 3 visiting days, with more allowed for clothings, vows, etc.
 
Is it possible to contact them by email? I could only find their phone in their webpage
