One must attend Mass every Sunday and Holy Day, and, really, you should go to Holy Communion whenever you attend Mass IF you are in a state of grace (have been to confession recently) and IF you are prepared to receive Holy Communion. If you are not in a state of grace and haven't been to confession recently or if you are not prepared, then you shouldn't receive Holy Communion at that Mass.
