A main objective of our organization is to hold annual events for alumni and friends of Bishop McDevitt to keep the Lancer spirit alive. We are proud to be able to honor alumni at the Hall of Fame induction in the spring and also remember our deceased classmates at the annual Alumni Memorial Mass each fall. Our beloved high school may be closed, but the Royal Lancer spirit will live on through the Friends of Bishop McDevitt.
The challenge of a marching world We meet with accent bold While cherishing a standard Ever new, as ever old. We bear our banner gold and white Our sign of royalty And glory in our Queen’s delight Of flow’ring purity Refrain
All hail, All hail to Bishop McDevitt High We pledge our loyalty to you
May we prove the trust our patron ever lived With ideals inspired by love. Hail to you, Our Alma Mater! Hail to you, Our Alma Mater! May faith and courage be our guide God our final goal.
