We, the Ex-Student of Aloysius Minor Seminary (SAMS) Kitiwum Kumbo Dioses, Cameroon, agreed to form an association called SAMS Ex-Student Association (SAMSEA), with a Motto Gratitude-Enthusiasm-Optimism.
The Church is fully aware that the desired renewal of the whole Church depends significantly upon the priestly ministry animated by the spirit of Christ and solemnly affirms the critical importance of priestly training (OT). The Church’s hopes and the souls’ salvation are thus committed to this priestly formation.
The seminary was formally inaugurated under the patronage of St.Aloysius Gonzaga in 1993, the feast of the saint, the universal protector, and patron of youth, especially seminarians. Saint Aloysius’ Minor Seminary, Kitiwum, Diocese of Kumbo, Cameroon, is a Secondary and High School and an institution for formation toward the diocesan priesthood. Since the inception of this Minor Seminary, it has produced over 100 priests, Who now serve not just the Ecclesiastical Province of Bamenda but all of Cameroon and worldwide.
As an offshoot of the Minor Seminary, SAMSEA embraces as members all ex-students, spouses of SAMSEA members, and former and present staff as honorary members.
Bring together all Ex-Students of SAMS Kitiwum wherever they may find themselves and foster spiritual and personal career growth.
Build a more robust, sustainable association that helps its members grow.
Moral, academic, apolitical, respect, solidarity, and growth.

A Note from the President
A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT 2025; A Year of Love, Unity and Empowerment.
As we near the end of this year, we look forward to a new beginning and all the opportunities that come with it. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the strength and unity each of you brings to our community, making SAMSEA the special place it is. I am grateful for the challenges and laughter we have shared, which have only deepened our bonds and strengthened our resolve.
In SAMSEA, our connections are more than companionship; they are the essence of who we are. Our unity is a powerful reminder that we are each part of something greater, that there is no “me” without “you.” Together, we form bonds that last a lifetime, building a community where age is only a number, and our anthem echoes equally across all our hearts.
This year, let’s focus on building an even stronger, empowered community. I encourage each of you to continue sharing your ideas, supporting one another, and uplifting our shared dreams. Together, we can create a SAMSEA that thrives on inclusivity, passion, and purpose—a place where each voice matters, where music brings smiles, and where football lights up our passions. This is our SAMSEA: a community that celebrates unity, resilience, and growth.
Let the coming year be one of empowerment, unity, and shared triumphs. Take with you the love that flows here and make SAMSEA a part of your heart. Welcome to SAMSEA. Please feel at home and know you are among family.
With deep gratitude,
Arnie Chiy Dec 2024
”You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward”. Culture and history often share a very close, nearly inextricable connection. Preserving memories not only shows how our culture has changed but also how life as a whole has transformed throughout history. Reminiscing with past generations, it is equally crucial to teach future generations.
