Please correct me if I am wrong but a Latin Rite Catholic can receive Holy Communion in any rite that is communion with Rome?
 
Thanks :). Just one more question, lets say a Latin Rite Catholic wants to attend and join a Parish of another Rite and receive all the sacraments, including Confession?

No problem, except for Marriage and Holy Orders which need approval from the Bishop of your Ritual Church but isn’t too difficult.
 
I want to thank you for all you answers. I have a deep LOVE for are Brothers and Sister Catholics in the East. 😃
 
To answer the “can’t” part, you can’t sing “Kumbaya” or “On Eagle’s Wings”. 😃

We CAN Worship God, make friends, and partake of the Sacraments.

We CANNOT leave chewing gum in the drinking fountain, pull all the leaves off the potted plants or use the last of the toilet paper without replacing in.
 
Echoing what others have said, there’s generally no need to (although some people do) canonically-change-enrollment.

This point is further illustrated by the fact that, out of Eastern Catholics who attend Roman-Rite parishes, very few of them ever canonically-change-enrollment.

Either could, in theory, be used for the incensational hymn or the closing hymn…

The Ruthenian Metropolia has published a hymnal and has a pastoral guideline of “use the hymnal”… but pastoral guidelines sometimes fall by the wayside.
 
My husband and I periodically go to the Ukrainian Catholic Divine Liturgy as there is a Ukrainian Catholic church near our home. (Normally we go to the NO parish in our area; it depends on the week as we are in a cluster parish area, so Mass is at different churches on different Sundays, and they celebrate Mass at different times.) We both find the Divine Liturgy very beautiful, and we like the monk who celebrates it.

I had looked into this a couple years ago. Turns out that it isn’t difficult, it just takes a while. Especially since they want you to be firmly planted in Eastern practices, traditions, and understandings of the theology. Latinizations are kind of a no-no. At least in my experience.
 
Well said, Farmer. I always that, if someone is Orthodox, I wouldn’t encourage him/her to convert to Catholicism … but if someone is neither Catholic nor Orthodox, and is thinking about possibly joining one or the other, there’s nothing wrong with giving them a “nudge in the right direction”. 🙂
 
As the Greek Orthodox Church in my neighborhood writes in their bulletin…if you are wearing lipstick, make sure not to leave smudges on the icons! 😛
