Edouard Gasnier, M.E.P. (4 May 1833 – 8 April 1896) was the Bishop of Malacca-Singapore from 1888 to 1896.
Born on 4 May 1833 in Angers, France, Edouard Gasnier was ordained as a priest in La Société des Missions Etrangères in 1857, and in the same year was sent to India.[1] [2] [3]
In 1878, whilst serving as Parish Priest of St Patrick's Church, Bangalore, he was appointed titular Bishop of Eucarpia and Vicar Apostolic of Malacca and Singapore.[4] [5]
In 1888, the Diocese of Malacca was restored which raised the Vicar Apostolic of Malacca to a Diocese, and therefore, as Vicar Apostolic, he was elevated to Bishop of Malacca and Singapore.[6]
He served as Bishop of the Diocese of Malacca from his official residence in Singapore until his death on 8 April 1896, and was buried in Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Singapore.[7]
