In this episode, we talk with Sr. Amy Mejia, SSCM. She professed first vows as a religious sister and Servant of the Holy Heart of Mary in April 2026. For the last year and half and counting, she has been ministering in two of our Viatorian parishes: Sacred Heart Church in Pembroke Township, IL, and St. Patrick Parish in Kankakee, IL. Here, she reflects on her vocation to the SSCM community and to religious sisterhood, only after a lot of life experience, and shared about working with Viatorians in our parishes. And of course, we gather her insights into discernment as a newly professed religious. (This episode debuted on August 17, 2026.)
