Donna L. Marotto is a Lay Franciscan, a mother, Evangelist, Youth Minister and Therapist who has a mission to tell teens, and young adults about the awesome message of how God Loves them. She works as a Faith Formation Director and Youth Minister in CT. She also holds her state license as a Marriage and Family Therapist and is very active in the Unbound Healing Ministry.

Marotto had a major career change many years ago from working at ESPN and a CBS affiliate in CT to working in ministry. It was by listening carefully to the Holy Spirit and in the process of discernment is how she ended up where she is today. She has a need to help teens and young adults to discern their call in life and to help them explore their talents and gifts God has given them. Her work history is extensive with over sixteen years of experience working with at risk youth, teens and young adults in jail diversion programs and group home settings.

She is very relationable and meets youth where they are in life. Marottohas a conversion story of her own. She grew up cradle Catholic, fell away from the faith (didn't practice in college), and got involved with the wrong crowd. She put many things before God, including herself. She realized after an encounter with the Holy Spirit, that her actions and behaviors were keeping her from knowing the love and peace of Jesus. She now has a message to spread across churches, counties and nations. This message is to help others to understand the choices they make in life determine their eternity.

In the sixteen years working as a therapist, Marotto realized many people were just "coasting" and surviving. They were not truly living. Many of her clients were never really healed in therapy. Jesus is the true "healer" and Divine Physician.

Her conversion story and experience can be that "seed" that is planted in someone's heart. These talks are needed in a culture that is hurting and searching for TRUE meaning and TRUE Love. Her talks are inspirational and hopeful. She talks about God's Love, how to access Him in the Sacraments, in prayer, and also healing in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
