Best Answer

Some, like the Sacrament of the Eucharist, can be received quite often, even more than once a week. Obviously, Reconciliation can be received as often as necessary as well. Baptism and Confirmation are only received once, as is Holy Matrimony. The Catholic church does not accept divorces, the only way to be separated from your spouse is to get an annulment. Holy Orders can (I believe) occur for being a deacon, a priest, and a bishop. The Anointing of the Sick can also be received as often as you need it. (Hopefully not very!)

Catholic AnswerThree sacraments make an ontological change in the one receiving them, and may not be repeated: baptism, confirmation, and Holy Orders. All the other sacraments may be repeated as necessary.

Can a Catholic child from a split marriage receive Holy Communion if she is not in the habit of going to Church?

Whether or not you may receive Holy Communion depends on whether you are in a state of grace and properly disposed to receive Holy Communion (and a Catholic). Thus, if you are a Catholic child, and have been to confession recently and are not in a state of sin, and have already made your first Holy Communion, then you may receive Holy Communion. What gives me pause is your "not in the habit of going to Church". Missing a Sunday Mass or a Mass on any Holy Day of your own free will would put you in a state of mortal sin, and you would be unable to receive Holy Communion until you had been in to confession. Your best bet would be to give your local priest a call, make an appointment, and go down and have a talk with him, and make a good confession while you are there. The priest will be able to guide you as to how and when you make receive Holy Communion, and the absolution from the confession will put you in a state of grace to be able to receive Holy Communion.

How do you receive holy communiom?

There are different ways you can receive holy communion. When you walk up to the Priest or the person giving out communion, you place or hands out one over the other. The person giving out communion will say the body of christ, you will then say amen. As you walk back to your seat you can then choose to cross or to not. Another way to receive holy communion is to kneel on the floor in front of the person giving out communion, open your mouth and it will be placed on your tongue. Either one is correct depending on your personal beliefs. You must have taken classes and have received your first communion, to receive holy communion.
