Religious Congregations

Do Latin-rite congregations accept non Latin-rite members in their own congregations?

My congregation has a Syro-Malabar division with its missions in India.

Which leads to the question, “Are Larin-rite congregations limited to Latin-rite members?”

Over the years, I have known members of the Eastern rites who were Redemptorist and Jesuit respectively. I did not meet a Franciscan but I know they exist.

There are Syro-Malabar priests functioning as Latin priests, as well as Syro-Malabar priest with dual ritual faculty. There are also Latin congregations that have Eastern divisions working under the Eastern bishop. For example there is a Franciscan order that Syro-Malabar priests belong to - I presume most are dual ritual with Latin faculties. There are also Carmelites, some other Latin Orders, and other Syro-Malabar specific orders working specifically with Eastern faculties under the Eastern bishop. There are even a few Syro-Malabar monastics working under the Ukrainian Ordinary in Lviv and Kyiv.
