A DRIZZLY YET DELIGHTFUL CANNONBALL DAY FOR THE CLASS OF 2026
It is clear that Raiders don't shy away from a little rain! Like a scene from the story of Noah's Ark with no respite from the rain, students from the Class of 2026 braved, or rather, enjoyed the downpour and cooler weather on May 11 all in celebration of our cherished Cannonball Day. As the final component of our first-year VIA programming, this annual tradition both commemorates the beginning of St. Ignatius' conversion—being struck in the leg by a cannonball on May 20, 1521 during the Battle of Pamplona between the Spanish and the French which led to a lengthy convalescence and spiritual transformation—and the end of the student's first year at Regis Jesuit.
The day's festivities began with Mass for the entire Class of 2026 where Fr. Eric Ramirez, SJ, RJ's Pastoral Director, shared Ignatius' incredible conversion story. Led by several theology teachers to Lou Kellogg Stadium, students then enjoyed a fun obstacle course and the launching of water balloons in Lou Kellogg Stadium at the school's suit of armor "RJ Raider," attempting to hit it in the right leg in honor of St. Ignatius. Students also had the opportunity to make their own "cannonballs" by jumping in the pool. Despite the uncooperative weather, it was a fun and festive day of brotherhood and sisterhood for our newest Raiders!
Way to make the day exciting, Class of 2026, and congratulations on a great freshman year!
