Bishop Anthony B. Taylor is encouraging everyone to participate in the U.S. Census.  Every person living in your home April 1 needs to be counted.  That includes children and newborn babies, citizens and noncitizens, relatives and nonrelatives and even those staying with you temporarily.  Census data guides how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to state and communities each year for schools, health care facilities, roads and social services.  Your responses to the census are safe and secure.  The law requires the U.S. Census Bureau to keep your information confidential and your responses cannot be used against you in any way. 

You should have already received Official Census mail with detailed information on how to respond.  You can complete it however is easiest for you:  online at www.my2020census.gov or by phone 844-330-2020.  If you do not respond, you can expect a questionaire to be mailed to your house.
