Father Clifford is the reverend of Saint Monica's Church in Rivet City in Fallout 3.
Background
Father Clifford is 40 years old and the head of Saint Monica's Church in Rivet City.[Pub 1] His acolyte is Diego who he has taken care of since Diego was abandoned by his father. The bond they have is akin to father and son.[Pub 2] He is the spiritual guide for the inhabitants of Rivet City, and provides council to citizens such as Mister Lopez, who visits the church frequently and is suicidal.[Pub 1][1] Before 2277, Clifford came across Marcella, a Christian missionary from the Abbey of the Road. She was delighted to find another person in the wasteland as passionate about religion as she was.[2]
Father Clifford is normally seen in and around Saint Monica's Church but is known to roam around the inside of Rivet City talking to other residents. On occasion, Father Clifford can be found in the Muddy Rudder, lecturing anyone present on the dangers of sin in the bar.[3][4] Every Sunday, he holds a mass, to which most of Rivet City's inhabitants attend.

Appearances
Father Clifford appears in Fallout 3. He is also mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Bugs
The Sunday sermon is often glitched: either Father Clifford is not present at all, but non-player characters shush each other because he is speaking, or he will be present, but not speaking. It is advisable to go to church before starting A Nice Day For a Right Wedding, as the Sunday sermon seems to get stuck because of a bug in that quest. [verified]

"Father Clifford, 40, spends most of his days in the church, but leaves for a couple hours every day to walk around the carrier. He's a nice guy and likes just about everyone he meets. He is especially fond of telling the story of Saint Monica, who went on a journey to be with her son and saved his soul. He counsels Mister Lopez during his frequent visits to the church. He's mildly envious of Doctor Preston; it doesn't help that Doctor Preston never attends church."

"Diego, 18, is Father Clifford's assistant. He came to Rivet City a few years ago with his father but was abandoned. Father Clifford took Diego in, and the two have become like father and son. Diego assists Father Clifford with his church work and wants to be a priest when he gets older. He has strong feelings for Angela and spends much of his free time with her. However, he is also a devoted Catholic. Because she is only 16, he does everything he can to keep his feelings secret, although Angela sees right through him."
