Yes. You should only receive Communion once a day, but Saturday and Sunday are two separate days, so you can receive Communion at the Saturday vigil mass and the Sunday mass.
Which Vigil Mass? Every major solemnity has a Vigil Mass and communion is distributed at each one. Eg: Christmas Vigil, Holy Saturday Easter Vigil, Pentecost Vigil, etc.
Catholic Church usually have a Vigil Mass on Saturday evening which satisfied their Sabbath duty to hear Mass on Sunday.
Generally about two to two and a half hours.
No, technically it's a vigil Mass, which counts for your Sunday obligation.
If you attend a Saturday evening Mass, that counts as fulfilling your Sunday obligation. A Saturday morning or mid-day Mass does not. No, the Mass after dark on Holy Saturday (the Easter Vigil) is Easter "Sunday" Mass and fulfills your obligation. --- Because of the central importance of Easter to the Christian faith, the Catholic Church requires that all Catholics who have made their First Communion receive the Holy Eucharist sometime during the Easter season, which lasts through Pentecost, 50 days after Easter. (They should also take part in the Sacrament of Confession before receiving this Easter communion.) This reception of the Eucharist is a visible sign of our faith and our participation in the Kingdom of God. Of course, we should receive Communion as frequently as possible; this "Easter Duty" is simply the minimum requirement set by the Church.
There is no Mass on Good Friday and the communion distributed that day was consecrated at the Holy Thursday Mass. In pre-Vatican II times it was called the Mass of the Presanctified. There is no Mass until the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.

Once ... that isTake this example. You attend Mass daily. You receive at the morning Mass on a Saturday. [You may only receive once a day]. A friend has died, and you wish to show sacramental union with the family - it is a different liturgy, you may receive. Another friend had scheduled a nuptial Mass that same afternoon, you many receive - it is a different liturgy. You weren't invited to the reception, so you decide to take advantage of the Vigil Mass that evening. You may receive - it is a different liturgy. On Sunday, your family wants you to go to Mass with them... but you already went .... You may receive. It is a different day.Correction:A Catholic may receive the Eucharist twice in a day under normal circumstances, or three times under one particular circumstance. Let's say you attend 8:00 morning Mass on a Saturday and receive communion. Later that day you attend a Catholic funeral or wedding. You are allowed to also receive at that Mass. If you attend the anticipated Mass that evening to fulfill your Sunday obligation you may also receive Communion.
