A School For Future Priests
Befo
re the official birth of Bishop Rogan College (minor 
seminary) in 1964, the Holy Family seminary had already been in existence at Sasse. However, due to the insufficient enrolment and irregular number of seminarians, Bishop Peter Rogan started making attempts to liberate the seminary from Sasse. In 1961, Bishop Rogan tendered his resignation to the Holy Father, Pope John XXII. He continued, however, to live in Soppo and, on 24th August, 1962, the Bishop conferred Episcopal ordinary on his Successor, the Right Reverend Jules Peeters (Mill Hill Missionary). It was Bishop Jules Peters who executed Bishop Emeritus Rogan’s dream into reality and, thus named the seminary after him. By 28th September, 1964, the first batch of students enrolled into Form one and the institution now offers Education from Form one to Upper Sixth both in the Arts and Sciences and is also a formation House for prospective seminarians for the priesthood and overseeing the affairs of this institution is Rev. Fr. Bartholomew Anyanwu, a priest of the diocese of Buea.
