His life was deeply intertwined with religious and academic pursuits, serving as a Catholic priest of the Byzantine rite of the Russian tradition.

During his time in Finland, he was involved in the care of Soviet prisoners of war and helped lead an ecumenical center in Myllyjärvi. Beyond his religious duties, he was a professor at the universities of Helsinki and Turku, where he taught the history of fine arts and icon painting.

As an iconographer, de Caluwé focused on the traditional methods of the Pskov-Novgorod school, a technique he acquired through contact with Russian iconographers and refugees from Estonia. His work contributed to the revival of traditional religious art in Finland. His pedagogical influence extended through his students, including Kjellaug Nordsjö, Helena Vartiaisen, Sirkku Lehtinen, Paula Kirsi, and Solrunn Nes.
