You want the Typicon.

Which eparchy?

Note that ByzCath.org has a listing of the lectionary readings at byzcath.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1383&Itemid=1

This also doubles nicely as the church calendar in “perpetual format”

Specific fasting rules vary by eparchy, but in general, 4 major Byzantine fasts:
Great Fast
Phillip’s Fast
Apostle’s Fast
Dormition Fast

Specific prayers vary by which language and which translation. English has lots of translations (At least one per Byzantine Catholic Church which uses English!), and some of them are better than others. (But there are lots of arguments over which is which, so I’m not going there.)

Ukrainian Catholic Chruch

If you are interested in the Ukrainian Catholic recension, you’re probably going to find more useful information at this site:

archeparchy.ca/

Keep in mind, however, that there is no such thing as “the Eastern Catholic Church.” There are Eastern Catholic ChurchES.

OK thanks

I assume you want Gregorian Calendar; Ukrainian Greek Catholic parishes can be either Julian or Gregorian.

If you need prayer books there are several sources such as the Basilian Press, Byzantine Church Supplies (Archeparchy of Philadelphia), Eparchy of Stamford, or St. Josaphat Eparchy Catechetical Office. The *Divine Liturgy: An Anthology For Worship * is an excellent starting point, and it contains a brief catechism as well as fasting guidelines, seasons of the year, notation of readings, etc.

Another excellent site is the St. Elias site:
saintelias.com/ca/index.php

St. Irenaeus Mission Society is another:
stirenaeus.net/

The central website of the UGCC is being re-done and the English site is not yet completed. The Archeparchy of Winnipeg site has been mentioned, and it is a good one.
