Awesome post from The Ringer today highlighting the end of ESPN's long-running show Around the Horn. Great nod to host Tony Reali's time at @fordham.edu!
Probably the first time The Ringer has linked directly to a college's Mission and Ministry page.

Happy Cannonball Day to all those who celebrate.
On this day 504 years ago, Ignatius was struck by a cannonball during the Battle of Pamplona, marking the beginning of his spiritual conversion.
We invite you to contemplate “cannonball moments” in your own life using these Ignatian resources:

Happy Opening Day to all those who celebrate! While college basketball certainly holds pride of place in the world of Jesuit higher ed., it has often been suggested that baseball is the most spiritual major sport. Is anyone finding God at the ballpark today?
