Sebastian Schwarz (priest)
Sebastian Schwarz (born January 14, 1809 in Lasberg ; † May 14, 1870 in Vöcklabruck ) was an Austrian priest and founder of the order.
Life
Schwarz, son of a master linen weaver and thread merchant († 1818), attended the Linz Academic High School from 1823 and the Kremsmünster Abbey High School from 1827 . In 1833 he was ordained a priest and worked from 1834 to 1837 in Mauthausen as a chaplain and then in St. Magdalena as an assistant priest . In 1840 he got the benefit in Vöcklabruck and in 1841 became parish curator .
On June 21, 1842, with two secular supervisors, he opened a children's institution for two to six year olds and in May 1843 a private industrial and labor school for girls in which six to fourteen year olds received handicraft lessons three times a week. In 1847, Schwarz acquired the house of a sock knitter next to the Catholic parish church in Vöcklabruck , which is considered the founding house of the Vöcklabruck Franciscan Sisters .
On the initiative of Schwarz, Juliane Wimmer (1824–1886) from Waizenkirchner was sent to the school sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis in Graz for training. After she made her profession as sister Franziska Serafika in September 1850 , she moved into the founding house (mother house) of the Vöcklabruck Franciscan nuns and became their first superior . In 1861 it was recognized as an independent institute by the Bishop of Linz, Franz Joseph Rudigier, and in 1937 the order was given a papal statute.
