The ideal place of baptism is in the local parish where the parents of the child live. This is their introduction to the church in their locality and a way of being inserted into their parish. We would like to honour this hope of the Church, so only in exceptional circumstances will children be baptised in Gardiner Street Church who are not of the parish here, or whose parents worship elsewhere.
