Pierius was ordained a priest in the late third century by (Saint) Theonas, bishop of Alexandria, Egypt. Thereafter Pierius served as head of the catechetical school of Alexandria. A gifted preacher, he excelled in the fields of Scripture studies and philosophy. Pierius lived austerely and temperately, practicing the evangelical counsel of poverty. He is the author of two lost treatises on the subjects of Easter and the Prophet Hosea.
