James Power arrived in Victoria, at the age of ten, and entered the Society at Sevenhill, 8 January 1873. After the noviciate he began rhetoric studies and theology.
In 1880 he was sent St Ignatius' College, Riverview, and from 1880-83, was at St Aloysius' College (St Kilda House), teaching physics, debating and prefecting. He returned to Riverview, 1883-84.
