The Mill Hill Missionaries
The Mill Hill Missionaries (Society of St. Joseph of Mill Hill) founded Saint Joseph's College Sasse in 1939, establishing it as the first secondary school in British Southern Cameroons. For decades the Society shaped the college's Catholic identity, academic rigour and missionary spirit, until proprietorship was eventually handed to the local hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Cameroon.
