In 1862 King Moshoeshoe allowed Father Gerard and his missionaries to settle in a vast amphitheatre in an area known today as the Roma Valley.

Here Father Gerard established his first Catholic Mission in Lesotho.

The Roma valley is the most important educational centre in Lesotho, housing the National University of Lesotho, whose humble beginnings, the Pius xii College, date back to April 1945.

Roma today is also home to 3 seminaries, St Joseph's Hospital, two high schools and junior schools
