The Christian liturgy in India is varied even within the adherents to the Roman Catholic Church. Indian Catholics primarily celebrate the mass according the Roman rite. Usually the altar boys wear cassocks and surplices with bare feet. Celebrants remove their shoes before entering churches. This is a common practice in India. presumably adopted from Hindu and Muslim practice. As the Indian Catholic Church includes churches like the Syro-Malankara Church and the larger Syro-Malabar Church, there are also masses using the Easrern rites. Many churches offer services using different rites to attend to the relgious preferences of a diverse body of communicants. We believe that the same priests may conduct these varied services, but are not yet sure about this.
