Standing With Our Christian Brothers and Sisters in Iraq

The Christians of Iraq are one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world.

In Iraq, Christians numbered about 1,500,000 in 2003, representing just over 5% of the population of the country. They numbered over 1.4 million in 1987 or 8% of the population.

After theIraq War, it was estimated that the number of Christians in Iraq had dropped to less than 450,000 by 2013 – with estimates as low as 200,000. Chaldean Catholics form the biggest group among the Christians of Iraq.

God help us to never forget them and keep them in our prayers each and every day.
