I am looking for a baptism record for Donald Edward Hansen, who was born about 1932 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts to Lawrence Hansen

Since there cannot have been fewer than 50 churches in Dorchester at the time, shouldn't you give the denomination and the residence of the parents?

I had no idea there were so many churches in Dorchester, Massachusetts around 1932. I know very little about Donald Edward Hansen born about 1932 in Dorchester, Massachusetts to Lawrence Hansen

This page contains the Sacramental Records Inventory for the parishes in Boston contained in the Archdiocesan Archives. If you scroll down you'll see 5 churches listed for Dorchester. Unfortunately, records after 1930 are not made available to the general public, so you would need to have a valid reason to gain access.

I checked the 1930 Census for a potential address for Lawrence Hansen. The only Lawrence Hansen/Hanson in the city was Lawrence J Hanson. They were living at 50 Rossmore Rd, which appears to be in Jamaica Plain, not Dorchester.
