The Archdiocese is working in concert with the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference to encourage everyone to fill out and return their census form in a timely manner. As part of its efforts, the Archdiocese has sent a letter to all pastors urging them to encourage parishioners' participation. A letter has also been sent to all Archdiocesan high school Presidents to disseminate to their students, as well as Catholic Human Services staff, including Catholic Social Services centers and facilities.
