News from the Refugee and Immigration Ministry Committee
Resources Available for Our Immigrant & Refugee Neighbors
Greetings, St. Gertrude parishioners,
We, the Refugee and Immigrant Ministry, are very aware that many people in our community and city did not nor will not benefit from any stimulus package because they are undocumented immigrants.
If you or someone you know is in that situation and struggling to make ends meet, please contact the parish. Some resources may be available. We know too that being undocumented is a sensitive matter and be assured that privacy and confidentiality will be greatly respected.
If you or someone you know is in that situation and struggling to make ends meet, please contact the parish. You can leave a message at 773.764.3621 or email stgertrude1420@stgertrudechicago.org. Some resources may be available.
Nosotros, el ministerio para refugiados y inmigrantes de la parroquia de Sta. Gertrude, estamos muy conscientes de que muchas personas en nuestra comunidad y ciudad non recibieron los cheques de estímulo del gobierno federal porque son inmigrantes sin documentos gubernamentales.
Si usted, o alguien que Ud conoce, está en esta situación y con dificultades económicas, por favor pónganse en contacto con la parroquia. Es posible que haya algunos recursos disponibles. También sabemos que ser un inmigrante sin documentos es un asunto sensitivo y puede estar seguro que todo se mantendrá en privado. Usted puede dejar un recado llamando la parroquia, 773.764.3621 o mandando un correo electrónico a stgertrude1420@stgertrudechicago.org. Es posible que haya recursos disponibles.

Census 2020: Stand Up and Be Counted
Why the Census Matters
Here are some points to remind us all of the importance of participating in the census:
- Everyone counts. The census counts every living person in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right place.
- The U.S. Constitution requires a census every ten years. The census covers the entire country and everyone living here. The first census was in 1790.
- It’s about fair representation. Every ten years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets.
- Your data is confidential. Federal law protects your census responses. Your answers can only be used to produce statistics. By law, information from any individual cannot be shared with immigration enforcement agencies, nor can it be used to determine eligibility for government benefits.
- It’s about redistricting. After the census, state officials use the results to redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts, adapting to population shifts.
- It means $675 billion. Census responses determine congressional representation in the states and inform how billions of dollars in federal funds are distributed to states and local communities every year for critical public services and infrastructure, including health clinics, schools, roads and emergency services.
Cardinal Cupich Urges Census Participation
