We’re different—in a good way: Profile of Father Roberto Mejia, O.Carm.
Father Roberto Mejia, O.Carm. grew up in Mexico with dreams of being an army pilot, a pediatrician, or a psychologist. “In the end, God won!” he says about his eventual decision to enter the Carmelite religious order. He met his community in college when a friend encouraged him to attend a “Come and See” weekend. His parents were less excited, but, he notes, “Over time, my parents not just accepted my religious vocation but also they fell in love with my life as a Carmelite.”
