Do any of you above or any other Eastern Catholics have an English order of Mass? I am Roman, and would like to visit one of the Eastern Catholic Churches.

Eastern Divine Liturgies are all spoken in the common tongue of the area. This is a tradition of the Eastern Catholics, always has been. Thus if you go to a Melkite parish in America, they will speak English unless otherwise noted. I have been to an Ukrainian Divine Liturgy and they spoke only Russian, as the parish was all Ukrainians. It is a simple translation not an "English Order".
Enjoy your Divine Liturgy.
Might I suggest visiting
http://www.melkite.org where they have the full text of the English translation.

I went to a Maronite Catholic Church once. A good amount of English was used during the Mass, at least more than I thought. When they did use the other language (Hebrew or Aramaic) they had a helpful booklet in the pews to follow along. I enjoyed the experience. If you are asking about the order of the Mass, it followed the same format you find in the Roman Masses.
