Chaldean Catholic Church

The Chaldean Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic church that follows the Roman Catholic faith but maintains its own liturgical traditions, language, and customs. It primarily serves Assyrian people in Iraq, Iraq's Kurdish regions, and the global diaspora. Recognized by the Vatican, it is in full communion with the Pope, sharing core Catholic beliefs while preserving unique liturgical practices rooted in ancient Syriac heritage. Its leaders are bishops who work to maintain its spiritual, cultural, and religious identity within the broader Catholic Church.
