PHOENIX (CNS) The 1,200 Chaldean Catholic families who live in Arizona are thousands of miles from the land of their birth.
On March 5, their hearts will turn toward their native Iraq.
That day, Pope Francis will arrive in Baghdad, the capital of the Middle Eastern nation that has been torn by war, violence and religious persecution for decades. It marks the first time a pope has ever traveled to the land of Abraham, Isaac and Jonah.
