Life
Sebastian Zink was born in 1777 to a wealthy farming family. At the age of 15 he began training as a theologian . First he was privately tutored in Straubing , then at the local high school run by the Carmelites and later the Premonstratensians . In 1796 he completed a novitiate at the Carmelite Abensberg Monastery . There he received his religious name Wendelin . After taking the simple vow in 1797, he went back to Straubing, where he made the solemn vow in the local Carmelite monastery in 1799 . In 1801 he was ordained a priest in Regensburg .
Zinc was entrusted from Rome with the mission of propaganda in Swedish Pomerania . In August 1803 he went to Stralsund, where he arrived on September 16, 1803. The Trinity Church there was consecrated in 1785. From 1805 zinc worked there as the sole priest.
During the occupation of Rome by the French, Zink's support from the mission was suspended. He secured his livelihood and the payment of his church servants and thus the existence of the Catholic community by giving private lessons in Italian , French , history and geography .
At the beginning of the 19th century he also undertook pastoral trips to the island of Rügen . Wendelin Zink died in Stralsund in 1840.
