Casimir de Scorbiac

Bruno Charles Casimir de Scorbiac (4 March 1796 – 1 October 1846) was a French Catholic priest, missionary, and educator.

Born into a noble family from Tarn-et-Garonne, Casimir was the third child of Jean-Jacques Maurice de Scorbiac and Marie Alies.

[1] Casimir pursued his early education at the institution of Abbé Claude Rosalie Liautard (which later became the Collège Stanislas de Paris in 1822).

[2] In 1823, while conducting a retreat at the Royal College of Rouen, Casimir's eloquence caught the attention of the rector who informed Denis Frayssinous, then Grand Master of the University.

In 1825, he conducted a retreat at Lycée Henri-IV, earning the respect and gratitude of students who gifted him a painting of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
