Hi, guys —

My husband is Catholic. I was:

  1. raised Catholic
  2. baptized
  3. made my First Communion, but
  4. never made my Confirmation.

We got married in a Methodist church.

  • We are having a child and I want to know if we will be able to have him baptized in a Catholic Church?

Thank you,

Joy
  { Can Catholics who got married in a Methodist church have their child baptized in the Church? }

Mary Ann replied:

Hi Joy,

Yes, if the Church has a reasonable expectation that you will raise him [and any future children] Catholic.

Since you are a non-practicing Catholic, She probably won't, but if you return to the faith, the Church will baptize your child.

Mary Ann
