It is very important to participate in the Sunday Eucharist as it is a time you become more like God and become more like Jesus by uniting yourself with Him in receiving the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ worthily. By receiving His Most Precious and Holy Body and Blood worthily in the Eucharist we obey Jesus' command and take up our Cross daily and follow Him.
To participate in the Eucharist, you must be a confirmed Catholic who is in a state of grace (i.e., who has not committed a mortal sin since the last confession). If you are not Catholic, it is permissible to attend mass, but not partake of the Eucharist.
Catholics celebrate the Eucharist every Sunday at mass.

Yes. Everyone is welcome. Only Greek Orthodox may participate in Holy Eucharist though.
But it does have a connection! Only ministers can provide the Eucharist. But some congregations are small, or there may be opportunities when a minister isn't available. The agape meal can be given by anyone, ordained or not, as a gift of love to their congregation. It can be used on Sunday mornings, and should.
