The Sanctifying Function of the Church » The Sacraments » Baptism » The celebration of baptism
Canon 857. §1 Apart from a case of necessity, the proper place for baptism is a church or an oratory.

§2 As a rule and unless a just reason suggests otherwise, an adult is to be baptised in his or her proper parish church, and an infant in the proper parish church of the parents.

§1. Extra casum necessitatis, proprius baptismi locus est ecclesia aut oratorium.

§2. Pro regula habeatur ut adultus baptizetur in propria ecclesia paroeciali, infans vero in ecclesia paroeciali parentum propria, nisi iusta causa aliud suadeat.
