How do I change rites?

The short answer

Changing rites is permitted but something of a hassle and usually unnecessary: you can join an Eastern-rite parish without changing rites. If you still want to, ask the pastor of the Eastern-rite parish.

There is nothing wrong with changing rites if you wish, but it is a bit of a hassle and not really necessary, since you can join an Eastern-rite parish without changing rites. If you still want to change, talk to the pastor of the Eastern-rite parish you want to join.
