She works extensively in adult and youth faith formation, and in music ministry, inspired by her mentor, Sr Deirdre Browne IBVM.

Fiona is also Music Consultant, Choir Leader and Cantor at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Hawthorn, a member of the Australian National Liturgical Council for the Australian Catholic Bishop’s Conference, and a member of the National Executive for the Australian Pastoral Musician’s Network.Fiona is an in-demand presenter across Australia in liturgical music, especially as applied to Catholic secondary schools. Fiona has travelled extensively and internationally, working and praying with diverse communities in South Africa, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. She has sung at the LA Religious Education Congress in workshops and concerts, and she is the only Australian to have been invited to teach on Music Ministry Alive (now the One Call Institute), an annual formation program for young liturgical musicians from around the world, in Minnesota, USAThis digital download edition of God's Call is her first song release and featured during prayer at the 2019 Australian Pastoral Musicians NetworkListen to the Spirit and Sing Conference in Melbourne. It is being released in time for Advent 2019.God's Call will feature in a forthcoming collection of liturgical songs, hymns, and responsorial psalms by Fiona.God’s Call is a response to the account of the Annunciation, as told in Luke 1: 26-38. Mary’s call to discipleship is the call for us all: how will each of us respond to God’s invitation of love to fullness of life? This is a unique discernment for each person. The fruit of this deep listening to the Spirit is the joy of God’s faithful accompaniment as we move forward in our lives. God is with us as we build and sustain communities that are a living sign of faith, hope and love.
The piece was commissioned for an international Catholic pilgrimage to Israel in 2019. It premiered at the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth on New Year’s Day, 2019 on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
