Of the over 30,000 Iraqis in San Diego, many thousands are Chaldean and have their own churches here.

Yes! That would be the Eparchy of St. Peter in San Diego. Bishop Sarhad Yawsip was a guest last year on EWTN, where he gave a very interesting presentation on the history of the Chaldean Church. Have you attended any of their liturgies?

Southern CA is also home to a large contingent of Lebanese catholics who attend the Maronite Catholic Church. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend attending their Divine Liturgy at St. Ephrem's.

Have not attended their liturgies.
Have heard from a few how they escaped from Iraq
some years back.
