Why do we take communion?
Catholics do NOT "take" Communion, they RECEIVE Holy Communion from the priest or a duly authorized lay minister of the Eucharist. You receive Holy Communion because Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ commanded it, saying, Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. For the complete dissertation of Our Blessed Lord on receiving Holy Communion, read the entire sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel.

Is it wrong for a person give themselves communion in the privacy of their home?
Communion is not simply 'ordinary' food and juice (wine). The priest consecrates--blesses--these as being the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But it is also a person and public "communion" between ourselves and Christ, and between us and other believers. So a person who takes Communion in the privacy of their home risks removing the sacredness of the Sacrament, and losing out on the reverent but celebration of 'communion'.
