Christian Triumph in Iraq

The blood of martyrs is the seeds of the Church.

There is a new Chaldean-Catholic Bishop for the faithful in Iraq!

On Jan. 17, 2010 Emil Shimoun Nona was consecrated as the Chaldean-Catholic bishop of Mosul. He succeeds Servant of God Paulos Faraj Raho, who was martyred by Islamic extremists in 2008.

Our prayers should go out to the Chaldean-Catholics of Iraq, who so bravely remain faithful in a country so hostile to the faith.
