Cannonball Moment at a Funeral

The Ignatian Year 2021–2022

Patrick Saint-Jean, SJ, at Creighton University, introduces his cannonball moment with the words, “A sad experience made me the happiest guy in the whole world.” The funeral of his godfather brought him to a Catholic church for the first time, where something in the homily gave him consolation.

Watch the video of Saint-Jean explaining his cannonball moment below.

This video is part of an initiative by the global Society of Jesus for the Ignatian Year.
