He is also the archdiocesan spiritual director of the Legion of Mary in St. Lucia,
through which he promotes devotion to Our Lady, especially the Rosary,
Perpetual Help novena, and the First Friday and First Saturday. Additionally,
he has led outreaches to the neighbouring islands, and annual pilgrimages to
Marian shrines in, at least, fourteen different countries. He is also a versatile
speaker on pro-life issues, scripture, Mariology and Catholic teaching and has a
large number of talks and homilies on CD to his credit. He has also made
literary contributions to newspapers and international magazines. Fr Clovis is
the author of the book A Biblical Search for the Church Christ Founded.
In 2003, Fr. Clovis single handedly led the resistance to the St Lucia
Government’s surreptitious legalization of abortion in his Catholic island which
made him enemy number one, especially after his refusal to give Holy
Communion to Pearlette Louisy, the head of state who had signed abortion into
law.
Fr. Clovis is the eldest of five brothers who are all actively in the pro-life
apostolate. He is currently the spiritual director of Family Life International,
and is a member of the board of Family Life International NZ.
Family Life International NZ has John Paul II Centres for Life in
Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.
We work to build a culture of life in New Zealand through prayer,
practical support to mothers and fathers facing a crisis pregnancy,
and education on all the life issues from conception through to natural death.
