Hello,
I am currently in California on business and was hoping to possibly attend daily mass while I was here. The closest church to my hotel is one that is called a Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. I want to ask a few questions. First, is this rite in communion with the Pope? Second, on their schedule every day it says "Holy Qurbana," is this the same as mass or is this something else? Third, what is to expected from such a rite? How is it different from the Latin rite and is there anything I should know before going?
