Our Organizational Journey
The Chaldean Catholic Diocese has a rich history rooted in faith and community service. Established to enhance the safety and security of all churches within our diocese, we have continually evolved to meet the needs of our beloved community.

Milestones in Security Training
We’ve successfully implemented ALICE Training classes, designed to prepare our community for emergency situations. These training sessions have not only increased awareness for our volunteers and staff but also fostered a sense of confidence among participants in handling unforeseen circumstances. Our ongoing commitment to training continues to build trust within our community.
