  1. Rites in the Church Though Many We Are One

  2. Within the Catholic Church there are several branches called ‘rites’ e.g. • The Latin (Roman) Rite • The Maronite Rite • The UkranianRite • The Melchite Rite • Rites are groupings of local churches ( or "dioceses") who share a common discipline, theological heritage and set of liturgies and rituals, and often a common culture and language as well. 

  3. Some Facts about Rites • Each rite is headed by a "Patriarch".  • The various rites are united together in the Catholic Faith by their unity with the Pope ( the Patriarch of the Western/Latin Church) .   • There is unity of "Charity and Peace" and essentials of faith. • Unity and not uniformity in ritual or church laws is demonstrated. • New rites can even come about to meet new needs. • This can facilitate bringing to the Church separated brothers and sisters in the faith.
