Our story,
from the beginning.

Where we came from and where we're going.

Summer 2021

The beginning

We decided to open our eyes to the future and wanted to 'future-proof' the world of Ministry, and thus our Futurfaith voyage began in 2021, with the goal of changing the industry for the better.

Autumn 2021

Becoming Official

By Autumn, we became official—registered with the GRO in both Ireland and NI. Our first ministers were also added to the HSE’s official Register of Solemnisers.

Lorraine McCarthy

Founder | Treasurer

Although she's been an officiant for over 9 years, it’s still the most meaningful work Lorraine knows.

Founding FuturFaith was her way of sharing that magic with others.

Since becoming a FuturFaith Minister, Lorraine has found even greater purpose in celebrating love, life, and connection.

Despite setbacks like open-heart surgery, her faith and passion for ceremony have only strengthened, and she continues to offer support and solace through her work.
