Hi Amy,

Thanks for the question.

Yes, he or she will be able to be baptized.

If you were married in the Church, the only one who made a promise to raise the children Catholic is the Catholic party. The non-Catholic spouse is only a witness to the promise the Catholic spouse has made.

That said, let me Welcome you to our family with open arms!

The sacraments of the Church are, what I call, our spiritual dynamite. In each and every sacrament Jesus touches our lives and by renewing our Covenant weekly at Mass, we are guided by Him in making proper Christian decisions for that week.

Seeing that you have started RCIA classes, I would encourage you to consider buying a cheap copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to learn everything we believe as faithful Catholics.

If you, or any visitor, has been helped by our work at AskACatholic.com, consider financially supporting us today. If you can't right now, check out our Click To Support program.

I hope this helps,
