They use unleaven bread. There are several Chaldean parishes in my area and I like bringing the kids there every once and awhile.

great! i talked to the priest about attending a Chaldean Rite mass and he said i am very welcome to attend. there is no Chaldean Parish in our area, they hold the mass in a Latin Rite Parish

my guess about it is, it would depend on the Rite they are celebrating. unless an Eastern Rite priest is celebrating a Latin Rite mass in an Eastern Rite parish, which would mean the chuch would have stocks of leavened bread, instead of unleavened bread. but i would think that if an Eastern Rite priest is celebrating a Latin Rite mass in a Latin Rite church, then there would be access to leavened bread
