On Thursday, 31 January 2013, during the Synod of Chaldean Bishops in Rome, Archbishop Louis Sako of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Kirkuk of the Chaldean Catholic Church has been elected as the new Patriarch of the See of Babylon in Iraq and leader of the Chaldean Catholic Church, and granted full communion with the Pope as they had been for the past more than 150 years and beyond.

As Patriarch of the Chaldeans, Patriarch Louis Sako is also appointed to the Presidency of the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Iraq, which post is always held by the Patriarch of the Chaldeans.

Pray for the new Chaldean Patriarch, that he will be given great strength by God to shepherd the faithful, our brethren in Christ, particularly in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East, through the difficult times, and may faith in the Lord grow and prosper despite the oppositions against Christ and His believers. Amen.
