The diocesan enquiry for the beatification of Fr Andrej Majcen opens

(ANS –Slovenia Ljubljana, 29 September 2010) – On Friday 24 September,  at the Salesian house in Ljubljana Rakovnik (SLO), in the presence of the Archbishop Anton Stres, the diocesan enquiry  was officially opened for the beatification of  Servant of God Fr Andrej Majcen SDB (1904–1999), a priest and missionary, “patriarch of the Salesians” in Vietnam.

Present at the ceremony were the Salesians Archbishop Stanislav Hočevar of Belgrade, Archbishop Zef Gashi of Bar, Montenegro, Bishop Peter Nguyen Van De, of Thai Binh, Vietnam, the Provincial  Fr Alojzij Slavko Snoj, the Provincial of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians Sr. Marija Šimenc, and the Vice Postulator, Fr Anton Ciglar.

Two days later on Sunday 26 September, at the  sanctuary of  Mary Help of Christians, in Ljubljana Rakovnik, there was a Solemn Mass for the opening of the process for Fr Majcen. Archbishop Hočevar presided at the Mass which was concelebrated by the Salesian bishops present at the official opening as well as the Salesian Bishop Peter Štumpf of  Murska Sobota, Slovenia. Many Salesian priests as well as representatives of the Salesian Family shared in this time of grace  including  Fr Pierluigi Cameroni, Postulator General for the Causes of  Saints of the Salesian Family.

The celebration of Sunday 26 took on special significance as it coincided with the 141st Missionary Expedition. That same day in fact in Turin in the Basilica  of  Mary Help of Christians  the Rector Major Fr Pascual Chávez gave the crucifix to 42 new missionaries, 10 of whom come from Vietnam, the country to which Fr Andrej Majcen in 1952 carried and faithfully cultivated the seed of the Salesian Charism.
