The U.S Census Bureau has mailed official notices to every household requesting participation in the 2020 Census. Information on all persons living and staying at your residence can be entered online. All information provided is confidential and cannot be shared with other government agencies or local authorities.
The U.S. Constitution requires a national census every 10 years to count the number of men, women and children residing in the U.S. This includes undocumented and homeless populations that are often hard to count.
The primary purpose of the Census is to determine the number of representatives in Congress for each state apportionment). Additionally, Census data helps direct billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities for education, roads, and other public services.
Census data is also used for planning by hospitals, nursing homes, community centers, churches, schools, and police and fire rescue.
Participation in the census is required by law. As faithful citizens, we have a duty to be counted and to also encourage our family members and neighbors to be counted. A complete and accurate count provides for the common good and well-being of all U.S. residents.

After prayer and consultation with government and public health officials and our diocesan priests, Bishop Parkes has decided to grant permission to pastors throughout the Diocese of St. Petersburg, at their discretion, to resume the
public celebration of Sunday Masses the weekend of May 30-31, 2020.
We are called to be good stewards of our health and to take practical steps to avoid spreading illness. Therefore, restrictions will be in place since we still remain in the midst of a pandemic. For now, we will need to limit the number of people at church
for social distancing and to continue the practice of frequent sanitizing.
Since the risk of coming into contact with coronavirus remains, individuals and families should take personal responsibility to protect themselves.
Please know that all Catholics remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass until further notice. If you are at greater risk due to age,
illness, or other health conditions, please do not come to Mass. Those able to attend Mass are urged to follow CDC guidelines and parish procedures.
Let us show charity, patience and kindness as new processes and plans are developed.
GOOD NEWS!
YOUR COMMUNITY DEPENDS ON YOUR RESPONSE!
