Chaldean Catholic Church Book Launch

Author Jacob Bacall hosted a special book launch event on Thursday evening, May 15, at Shenandoah Country Club to celebrate his new book, Chaldean Catholic Church, co-written by Bishop Bawai Soro. The book celebrates the rich history and legacy of the Chaldean Catholic Church and marks Mother of God Church’s 75th anniversary. It also commemorates the historic 2021 visit of Pope Francis to Iraq, a moment of deep significance for Chaldean Catholics worldwide. Attendees had the opportunity to meet the author, purchase the newly released book, and acquire limited-edition commemorative coins designed to honor these important milestones. The evening brought together members of the community for a celebration of faith, culture, and heritage, highlighting the enduring contributions of the Chaldean Church and its people. Proceeds from the book sale will be donated to the Mar Ibrahim Library.
