| Slovenia – The diocesan enquiry for the beatification of Fr Andrej Majcen opens |
| Slovenia – A happy minibus |
| Vatican – A new Servant of God for the Salesian Family |
On 5 November 2008 the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Archbishop Angelo Amato, granted the required “nulla osta” for the introduction of a new Cause. For this reason on 25 April the Postulator General of the Salesian Family, Fr Enrico dal Covolo, went to see the Archbishop of Ljubljana, Alojzi Uran, accompanied by the Provincial Fr Alojzi Slavko Snoj, and the Vice Postulator, Fr Tone Ciglar.
In the course of the meeting a number of technical issues were discussed regarding the launching of the process of beatification and canonisation. A provisional date for the solemn session for the opening of the Canonical Process which will probably take place at Rakovnik (Ljubljana), in the historical Sanctuary of Mary Help of Christians was fixed for the last Sunday in September. In fact, on 30 September it will be ten years since the Servant of God went to heaven.
The following day, 26 April, the Postulator paid his respects at the tomb of the Servant of God in the Ljubljana cemetery.
In the course of the two days, on a number of occasions, Fr dal Covolo was able to speak about “Holiness in the Salesian Family”, especially to the leaders of Youth Groups from the Province and to the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA).
The beginning of the month of May is an occasion very close to the heart of the Salesian Family and of the whole Diocese of Ljubljana, which has the Sanctuary of Mary Help of Christians at Rakovnik as a focal point.
