Take a look at some of Servant of God Fr Andrej Majcen's
material
SDL: 12th December 2008 --
The official announcement of the'Nihil Obstat' to the Cause for
Beatification and Canonisation of Slovenian born Salesian missionary to
China and Vietnam, Fr Andrej Majcen, was made yesterday in ANS. The
rescript from the Congregation of the Causes of Saints was signed by
its Prefect, Archbishop Angelo Amato sdb and carries the date 5
November 2008. The rescript, written in Latin, states simply that
on the part of the Holy See, there is no objection to proceeding with
the Cause of Beatification and Canonisation of Fr Majcen.
Fr Majcen kept what might be called an extensive
scrapbook, rather than a diary, or rather, volumes of such. This
provided SDL with somewhat of a challenge, since some items are
typewritten, some handwritten, some sketches and drawings, others
photos and so on. The solution adopted has been to make a paged image
pdf of an entire volume or two. Effectively this means you can have
access to the three volumes so far treated in this way. A pdf of
this size may take a little while to open. He writes mostly in Italian,
sometimes in Slovenian, occasionally bits and pieces in Vietnamese and
so forth. The three volumes cover the period 1956-72.
Fr Majcen died in 1999 in his home country,
Slovenia. After he returned from more than 40 years in the
missions in East Asia, he spent the remaining years of his life in his
home province carrying out an extraordinary work of missionary
animation.
