Roman Rite

The Roman Rite is the most widely used liturgical tradition within the Roman Catholic Church. It encompasses the set of prayers, rituals, and rites used during Mass and other sacraments. Originating from Rome, it provides a standardized format that guides how worship is conducted across most Catholic churches worldwide. The Roman Rite includes specific prayers, readings, and gestures that help Catholics participate in their faith in a meaningful, structured way. While there are variations and opportunities for cultural expressions, the core elements of the Roman Rite ensure unity and continuity within the global Catholic community.
