Who are you and what do you do?
Hi, I’m Donna Power, pictured here with my husband, Fraser. I create engaging, enjoyable and empowering online resources for the faith formation of your students, staff, family and/or organisation.
I care deeply about how Christian spirituality can strengthen individuals, families and schools communities.
Why do you do it?
What keeps me up at night is worrying about the suffering and isolation of young people and their families and teachers and working out how to:
- affirm their dignity,
- give them hope,
- strengthen them for a fulfilling life
I can help you by providing ready-made and engaging faith formation resources aligned with Catholic teaching and special rosary beads. I can also facilitate bespoke retreats in person or online.

Guiding Principles of Faith Formation
Start with love, hospitality and community.
Faith Formation affirms the Human Dignity of every participant unconditionally and aims to help them to flourish as human beings for the Common Good.
Christian stories, principles and values are most meaningful to participants when explored through their own experience and when their community intentionally and explicitly strives for a Christian ethos.
Catholic theological anthropology, virtues and social teaching strengthen participants by offering a positive, loving, grounded and transcendent identity in relationship with God and others.
