Biography
Blessed Pierre Lucien Claverie, also known as the bishop of the Muslims, was born on 8 May 1938 in Algiers, Algeria. He came from a working-class French family and demonstrated a deep commitment to his faith from an early age. At the age of 10, Pierre joined the scouts, which were led by Dominicans, and it was during this time that he became familiar with their spirituality.
