Alexander Casimir L’Angellier was born in Singapore on May 5th 1900. He belonged to a highly-respected, long-standing Catholic family. After receiving his early education in St Joseph’s Institution, Singapore, he was among the first aspirants to join the De La Salle Brothers at the newly opened Juniorate and Novitiate in Kuala Lumpur, in 1916. He took the Brother’s habit in 1918 taking the name Casimir and then continued with his religious formation and studies in Penang.
