Alumni

NEW! St. Matthias Alumni Mailing List: Staying in contact with you is important to us. Please register and provide your contact information, including your email address. In order to save postal costs, we would like to use electronic mail whenever possible to send you the annual Alumni Newsletter, Connections, as well as notices about upcoming events and opportunities to support the school.

On October 4, 1909, St. Matthias School opened its doors to 150 students and 4 teachers, including Father Nicholas Wagner, the first pastor. Since graduating its first class in 1912, St. Matthias School has provided a Catholic education to more than 7,000 children. Whether you graduated recently, or more than half a century ago, we hope that the intervening years have extended many blessings, made possible through the grace of God, your faith, and the foundations established by your parents and teachers.

No matter your current age, you treasure memories of classmates and teachers who shared in your educational journey. Today, St. Matthias is as vibrant as ever, sending forth graduates to embrace the world and share their talents. We continually receive requests to organize alumni events, and we welcome alumni interest in renewing bonds formed in elementary school. It is a privilege to have our alumni journey with us as the school moves toward its centennial celebration in 2009.

An alumni association exists to sponsor activities, which foster and nurture a climate of unity and loyalty. It is a living link among past, present, and future generations of students, and provides exciting opportunities to share life's lessons and successes, and support and advance the school's mission. St. Matthias alumni are testimony to the value of Catholic education, even in today's tumultuous times.

An alumni database is maintained, and your assistance is required to keep it current and locate alumni whose present whereabouts are unknown. Please encourage all alumni to provide us with current contact information. You may send an , or you may use the Alumni Information Form. Please remember to include year of graduation, and maiden name, if applicable. Indicate if you are interested in working to organize future activities, share special talents that might benefit the school (i.e. performing skills, business skills such as fundraising, ability to donate services or items which could be used as a raffle prize, etc).

We invite your attendance at events, such as dances, Catholic School's week open house, etc. When completed, the website will offer information about these activities.

There are some very simple ways in which you can support your alma mater. Join in collecting General Mills Box Tops for Education, Campbell's Soup labels, pennies, and empty inkjet/laser cartridges. Please click here to learn more about these fundraising activities which are cost-free to you, but which benefit the school immensely.
