FOREWORD
The chief author of this book is Father Andrej Majcen, a Salesian missionary.He has worked for 22 years in the missions in China and then for 22 more years in Vietnam, first in the North and then in the South. He has also worked for some more years in Hong Kong and Taiwan before eventually returning to his country.
After his return to Slovenia (former Yugoslavia), in response to the wish of the General Superiors, he began collecting historical documents and themonumental private notes he had taken inall his missionary life.
Father Mario Rassiga, SDB, the author of the Historyof Salesian Works in China and Vietnam, has organized the data from Fr. Majcen’s abundant notes, with a literary editing by Dr. Emilio Bonomi.
This book is a very valuable resource for the study and research in the missionary history of the Salesians. As a historical narrative, it is expected to help everybody to have a general knowledge of the matter, but for the Vietnamese Salesians in particular, it is a precious record of the beginnings of Don Bosco’s works in their country.
Ljubljana 24 September 1989
INTRODUCTION
Fr. Majcen tells us the story of his missionary adventure that God has led him through. He is acknowledged as the “patriarch” and “founder” of the Salesian Congregation in Vietnam. After a series of long conversations and interviews with him, Fr. Rassiga has published the Don Andrej Majcen, A Salesian Missionary in China and Vietnam.
It is now time for us Vietnamese Salesians to study the account of the History of the Salesian Works in Vietnamthrough this book edited by Fr. Rassiga, together with other writings of Fr. Majcen at the request of Don Viganò who was then Rector Major of the Salesians, as well as his personal correspondence during his last twenty years in Slovenia. Thus this History of the Salesian Works in Vietnam in the footsteps of Don Majcen will closely follow Fr. Rassiga’s published book, with some additions or minor revisions based on other writings from Fr. Majcen.
The following document aims to help everyone who wishes to respond to the appeal of the Archbishop of Ljubljana: “All who personally knew the Servant of God Fr. Andrej Majcen are kindly invited to inform vice-postulator Anton Ciglar SDB about anything that might benefit the process (of his beatification). Please send declarations of your encounters with missionary Andrej Majcen to this address: Rakovniska 6, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.”
Fr. Majcen’s sanctity is a most cherished legacy for all of us who are his spiritual children. And it is hoped that his children in Vietnam will eagerly cooperate to bring his holiness to light.

DECREE FOR THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE BEATIFICATION PROCESS OF
THE SERVANT OF GOD FR. ANDREJ MAJCEN SDB
Archiepiscopal Ordinary's Office in Ljubljana
No. 1253/10
In accordance with the Apostolic Constitution "Divinus perfectionis Magister" of 25 January 1983, Chapter I, Art.1, following the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints of 7 February 1983 "Normae servandae", No. 11b, and "Sanctorum Mater" of 17 May 2007, Art. 43, §3, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Ljubljana,
I hereby commence the process for the beatification of the Servant of God, Fr. Andrej Majcen, SDB.
The Servant of God Fr. Andrej Majcen SDB (1904-1999) was a fervent Salesian and priest, spiritually matured for sainthood in the twenty-two years of exceptional missionary apostolate in China and Vietnam as well as in the last twenty years of his life in Slovenia.
On 13 December 2007 the Salesian Provincial Office in Ljubljana requested the commencement of the diocesan beatification process of the Servant of God Fr. Andrej Majcen through postulator-general Enrico dal Covolo SDB. He noted the full agreement of Vietnamese and Slovene Salesians who can attest to his exemplary Christian and Salesian life as well as heroic fulfillment of the Christian virtues. Besides this, many people claim to regularly pray for his intercession as he passed away with a reputation for holiness. Also his spiritual legacy, especially Reflections, Spiritual Diaries and Personal Spirituality (more than 6,000 hand-written pages), clearly reveal his depth and systematic daily striving for spiritual growth.
Following the request of my predecessor, the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints issued a document 'Nihil obstat' on 5th November 2008 stating that nothing hinders the commencement of the mentioned process.
Considering all these facts and the indisputable spiritual excellence of loyal gospel preacher the Servant of God Fr. Andrej Majcen who has proven himself as a missionary among Salesians and people in the local Church and abroad, as well as being convinced that his virtues will encourage missionary zeal and growth in holiness, I hereby notify the Archdiocese of Ljubljana of the commencement of the aforementioned process.
All who personally knew the Servant of God Fr Andrej Majcen are kindly invited to inform vice-postulator Anton Ciglar SDB about anything that might benefit the process. Please send declarations of your encounters with missionary Andrej Majcen to this address: Rakovniška 6, 1000 Ljubljana.
All God's people of Ljubljana Archdiocese are requested to pray for the beatification of Fr. Andrej Majcen, for his intercession and to report about favors granted in writing to the vice-postulator. The more declarations of this kind we receive, the sooner the universal Church will recognise the Servant of God as a heavenly intercessor.
God bless all your efforts and may he help us successfully complete the process.
From Ljubljana, 4 August 2010

DON MAJCEN FOR HIS MISSION
IN VIETNAM
chapter i: his early life (1904-1924)
Fr. Andrej Majcen was born in Maribor, the second largest city of Slovenia (former Yugoslavia).
His father—also named Andrej—was from Borove. After finishing secondary school, he was sent to the seminary, as his mother Teresa had wished him to become a priest. However, realizing himself not fit for the priestly vocation, he stopped all his seminary formation and went to a teachers’ college instead. For this his mother never forgave him, seeing it as a defection and considering him a wayward boy, so that without money he had to drop his studies to earn a living. At first he worked as an office clerk, then as a consultant at Maribor’s Court, where he could manage to have a secure living. He then married Maria Schlick, a very virtuous girl from the same town. After finishing primary school, she entered a school run by the nuns where she was taught the rules of economy and housework besides religious instruction. And the first lovely fruit of this wedding was the birth of our boy Andrej, then his sister Maria, his brother Zoran who died as a child, and his youngest sister Milka.
When Andrej was four, his parents moved their family to a minor court in Kozje, then to a major court in Krsko, where by his honesty and wisdom, his father was entrusted the delicate charge of assuring the good of the teenagers and the orphans. Father Majcen later would tell us that his family had been living in a house that was very humid and harmful to their health, causing his father to fall seriously ill, and it was only by his mother’s care and prayers that he could save his life. After moving to Krsko, his family could live in a better house. But when Andrej was ten, there broke out a war with Serbia that instantly evolved into the European War. During the war, Andrej was educated in a secondary schoolwhere German and Slovene languages were used. Those were very terrible years for all the people: nobody had much to eat, because even with a lot of money you could not buy enough food.
In 1919, his parents sent him to a teachers’ school in Maribor where there were very good teachers but where also liberal and socialistic ideas were so popular that could otherwise endanger his young mind. Fortunately he was saved through his mother’s constant prayers and encouragement.
His father was often ill, his sisters kept growing, and much money had to be spent for medicines. Andrej kept studying very hard, knowing he would later have to be the bread winner of his family. In his final year at school, he was almost tempted to drop, but with the aid of his aunt Catarina who gave him lodging in her house, he managed to finish his studies, and graduated in 1923. It was on this occasion that his father made a great effort to buy him a new suit.
