Chaldean Catholic Church

Located in the heart of Southfield, Michigan, stands the Chaldean Catholic Church, part of the Chaldean Diocese of St. Thomas the Apostle U.S.A. This Eastern rite eparchy falls under the jurisdiction of the Chaldean Catholic Patriarchate of Babylon in Baghdad, Iraq. Despite its union with the Roman Catholic Church, the Chaldean Church proudly preserves its distinctive liturgical practices, spiritual traditions, and intricate sacred art.

Originally catering to a widespread congregation across the United States, the diocese now ministers to approximately 180,000 American Catholics, primarily those of Chaldean heritage residing in the eastern region of the country. Notably, Metro Detroit boasts the largest Chaldean population in the nation, with ten of the diocese's twelve parishes nestled within the state of Michigan, emphasizing the community's strong presence and deep-rooted faith in the area.
