Chaldean Syriac Church

The Chaldean Syriac Church, also known as the Chaldean Church, is an Eastern Catholic Christian denomination that follows the West Syriac liturgical tradition. It emerged in the 16th century, primarily from the ancient Mesopotamian region. The Church is in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church and recognizes the Pope's authority. The Chaldean community practices a rich cultural heritage, including unique religious rituals, languages (like Aramaic), and traditions. Predominantly based in Iraq, many Chaldeans have migrated due to conflict, maintaining vibrant communities worldwide while striving to preserve their identity and heritage.
