Catholic order liturgical rites exist as variants of both Latin liturgical rites and Eastern liturgical rites, that is of both the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches, respectively.
Rites in the strict sense
- The Benedictine Rite is a rite used by the Benedictines that is specific to the canonical hours. It does not apply to their Mass, which is of the Roman Rite.
- The Cistercian Rite is used by the Cistercians.
- The Carthusian Rite is used by the Carthusians.
- The Carmelite Rite is used the Carmelites, and also by the Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and the Brazilian Hermits of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel.
- The Dominican Rite is used by the Dominican Order, as well as the Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer.
- The Premonstratensian Rite is used by the Premonstratensians.
Apart from these, most religious orders also have their own customs, privileges, and liturgical calendar not amounting to a separate liturgical rite.
Rites in a broad sense (not distinct from the Roman Rite)

The early-twentieth-century Catholic Encyclopedia, in its article entitled "Rites",[1] applied the term "rite" loosely to some practices that certain religious orders followed at that time, while stating that they in fact used the Roman Rite.
What follows is a transcription of that text, leaving unaltered its no longer true statements and its spelling (e.g. "connexion").
Franciscan Rite
The
The Franciscans exercised great influence in the origin and evolution of the Roman Breviary, and on the revision of the Rubrics of the Mass. They have also their own calendar, or ordo. This calendar may be used not only in the churches of the First Order, but also in the churches and chapels of the Second Order, and Third Order Regular (if aggregated to the First Order) and Secular, as well as those religious institutes which have had some connexion with the parent body. It may also be used by secular priests or clerics who are members of the Third Order. The order has also its own ritual and ceremonial for its receptions, professions, etc.[1]

In regard to the Divine Office, the Capuchins do not sing it according to note but recite it in monotone. In the larger communities they generally recite
They follow the General Roman Calendar, with the addition of feasts proper to their order. These additional feasts include all canonized saints of the whole Franciscan Order, all beati of the Capuchin Reform and the more notable beati of the whole order; and every year October 5 is observed as a commemoration of the departed members of the order in the same way as November 2 is observed in the universal Church as All Souls. Owing to the great number of feasts thus observed, the Capuchins have the privilege of transferring the greater feasts, when necessary, to days marked semi-double. According to the ancient Constitutions of the Order, the Capuchins were not allowed to use vestments of rich texture, nor silk, but by Decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 17 December 1888, they must conform to the general laws of the Church in this matter. They remain obliged to maintain severe simplicity in their churches, especially when non-parochial.[1]
