All through the years we have a guide | Oh Pius X, | |
A hope a light which in us doth abide | In your steps we strive to follow | |
To thee we sing | Through the path of life's tomorrow | |
Alma mater alma mater dear | Our dear alma mater still will stand | |
With thee share our joys share our tears | To guide the way | |
To thee we pledge our loyalty. | Though others may stray, | |
Our hearts so true to thy loved memory | Pius X show us the way |

Go Pius ever onward, | We hail you Alma Mater, | |
Go Pius all the way; | We pledge ourselves to you; | |
Your praise we sing, | You show your might, | |
Your glory ring, | The red and white, | |
May your spirit win the day. | In your victories old and new. | |
Go Warriors strong in battle, | Go Warriors strong in battle, | |
Go Warriors brave and true; | Go Warriors brave and true; | |
Our cheers ring out with mighty shout, | Our cheers ring out with mighty shout, | |
For Pius hail to you! | For Pius hail to you! |

From the Acts of the Apostles, we know that St. Matthias was with Christ from
the time of His baptism until the time of His ascension. When St. Peter
announced that they must choose a successor for Judas Iscariot (Acts 1:15-21),
two were selected, Joseph called Barsabbas who was surnamed Justus, and
Matthias who was selected by lot after group prayer to the Lord. After his
selection, Matthias was always numbered among the twelve apostles. He
received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost with the other eleven. St. Matthias
preached the Gospel for over 30 years in Judea, Cappadocia (now countries of
Greece and Turkey), Egypt, and Ethiopia. He suffered martyrdom in Colchis,
a district of Asia Minor, situated on the shores of the Black Sea, south of the
Caucasus Mountains. It is believed his body was brought to Rome by St.
Helena. St. Matthias' feast day is May 14th.
We sing of you, beloved St. Matthias, | Your colors -- blue, the blue of Mary's mantle, | |
Our school so cherished for your spirit true, | And gleaming gold, the love of God and man -- | |
We sing our love for you, dear Alma Mater, | Oh, may these always be an inspiration | |
A song of loyalty and lasting love; | To fill our hearts with purity and love. | |
Your shining light, your standards high and noble, | God grant each girl may be Your consolidation, | |
Have ever lifted us to higher goals. | Dear Alma Mater, Saint Matthias High. |
