Daily Pre-Vatican II only once a day. Post-Vatican II (lax) (on a Saturday for example) once at a daily Mass (liturgy of the day); should you attend a funeral after Mass you may receive as part of the grieving community; should you attend a Nuptial on that day, you may receive as part of the celebrating community; should you wish to attend the Vigil Mass that afternoon, so as not to have to get up early in time for Sunday Mass) you could attend the Mass [if offered after 4PM] you may receive, as it is a different liturgy from the morning Mass. (That makes 4) To top that off, if you did get up early enough on Sunday and wanted to go to Mass on Sunday, you could receive, for even though it is the same liturgy as the Vigil Mass it is being offered on a different day.

∙ 12y agoCatholics may receive the Eucharist twice per day or three times under special conditions. Let's say you attend Mass in the morning and a wedding later in the day. You may receive at both Masses. Should you then attend an anticipated Mass that evening to fulfill your Sunday obligation, you may receive a third time.

Eastern Orthodox Christians are permitted with special permission to receive the Eucharist from a Catholic Church on certain occasions and other non-Catholic Christians may be able to receive if they are in danger of death, express a belief in the Eucharist, and ask for it on their own initiative. The reason for this is that only the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church believe in the Eucharist in the proper sense, and furthermore, the Eucharist is a sacrament of unity within the Church, and it would be wrong for those who do not share fully in the unity of the Catholic Church to receive it.

Can a Catholic and a non Catholic marry in the Catholic Church with a Mass ceremony?
No, when a non Catholic gets married to a Roman Catholic in a catholic church the sacrament of matrimony is not incurred in a mass.So basically the ceremony will be there but the ceremony wont be celebrated in a Holy Mass.ANSWER: Well, that's not really true. The couple may have a Mass but the non-catholic spouse may not receive Holy Communion. I believe it's difficult to have a Mass IF your spouse (and most likely his family) are not Catholics. Then you'll have one side of the isle going to communion while the other side remains seated. On the other hand, the Catholic should want the Mass celebrated when she marries and to receive the Holy Eucharist. Difficult.It might be possible for the Catholic bride or groom to receive the Eucharist (one that has already been consecrated at a prior Mass) kind of like seniors (shut-ins) receive when lay Eucharist Ministers visit their homes so that they may receive the Eucharist even though they did not attend Mass physically.
