Dear Parishioners:

April 1, 2020, is Census Day. It is very important for parishes and faith communities of the Archdiocese of Seattle to be involved. Some of the populations we serve are undercounted.

In the next few days, every household will receive an invitation to participate. Upon receiving the invitation, one person from each household should respond in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. The census will be available in various languages. In May of this year, census takers will begin home visits to those who have not replied between March and April. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, every person living in the United States, children included, must be counted, regardless of their immigration status. Please respond by participating in the census and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same.

As members of this parish community and communities in which we live and work, each of us has much at stake as we prepare to respond to the 2020 Census. In the context of a culturally diverse Church with varied pastoral needs, we have a responsibility to know our people and to do what we can to ensure that safety net programs for individuals and families living at or below the poverty line in Western Washington are adequately funded.

The federal government distributes more than $675 billion to state, local, and tribal governments based on census data. This funding is used for new roads, schools, hospitals, the enhancement of important community programs, and much more. By participating, we can actively affect and improve the quality of life in our community. Data from this national count also helps determine government representation decisions. Faith organizations like ours use census data to apply for grants that fund programs and initiatives that are important to our community.

Your responses are confidential. The 2020 Census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. It is easy, important, and safe. By law, the U.S. Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s personal information with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities.

If you have any questions regarding archdiocesan participation or would like to arrange a census event at your parish, please feel free to contact Edwin Ferrera at 206-382-4846 or Deacon Carl Chilo at 206- 382-4828.

With every grace and blessing, we remain

In the Heart of Christ,

Most Rev. Paul D. Etienne, DD, STL Most Rev. Eusebio Elizondo, M.Sp.S Archbishop of Seattle Auxiliary Bishop of Seattle

Estimados feligreses:

El 1ro de abril es el día del Censo Nacional 2020. Es muy importante para las parroquias y comunidades de fe de la Arquidiócesis de Seattle que todos participen. Algunas de las comunidades a las que servimos no han sido debidamente contadas.

En los próximos días, cada hogar recibirá una invitación a participar. Tras recibir la invitación, una persona por hogar deberá responder en una de las tres siguientes maneras: online, por teléfono o por correo. El censo estará disponible en varios idiomas. En mayo de este año, lo censistas comenzarán a visitar los hogares de aquellos que no respondieron entre marzo y abril. Según lo manda la constitución de los Estados Unidos, cada persona que vive en los Estados Unidos, incluyendo a los niños, debe ser contada, sin importar su estatus migratorio. Por favor participe en el censo y anime a su familia, amigos y vecinos a hacer lo mismo

Como miembros de esta comunidad parroquial y de las comunidades en las cuales vivimos y trabajamos, cada uno de nosotros tiene mucho que ganar al participar en el censo 2020. En el contexto de una Iglesia culturalmente diversa con distintas necesidades pastorales, tenemos la responsabilidad de conocer a nuestra gente y de hacer lo que podemos para garantizar que los programas de seguridad para las personas y familias que viven en pobreza en el Oeste de Washington reciban los fondos apropiados.

El gobierno federal distribuye más de $675 billones a gobiernos estatales, locales y tribales según los datos del censo. Estos fondos son utilizados para construir nuevas calles, escuelas, hospitales, y para mejorar programas comunitarios importantes, y mucho más. Nuestra participación puede afectar positivamente la calidad de vida en nuestra comunidad. Los datos de este conteo nacional también ayudan a determinar las decisiones de representación gubernamental. Las organizaciones de fe como la nuestra, utilizan datos del censo para solicitar fondos que financian programas e iniciativas que son importantes para nuestra comunidad.

Sus respuestas son confidenciales. El formulario del censo 2020 hace 10 preguntas y toma aproximadamente 10 minutos completar. Es fácil, importante, y seguro. Por ley, la Oficina para el Censo de los Estados Unidos no puede compartir la información personal de ningún individuo con nadie, incluyendo otras agencias federales o departamentos de policía.

Si usted tiene alguna pregunta con respecto a la participación arquidiocesana o desea organizar un evento informativo acerca del censo en su parroquia, por favor contacte a Edwin Ferrera al 206-382- 4846 o al Diácono Carl Chilo al 206-382-4828.

Con toda gracia y bendición, permanecemos

En el corazón de Cristo,
