The only day holy communion is not distributed is on Good Friday, the same day there is no mass. The only church on Good Friday is the adoration, which doesn't include communion and isn't counted as mass. It is a "continuation" of the mass on Holy Thursday, which isn't ended until the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.
Correction:
Communion is distributed on Good Friday using hosts consecrated at the Mass on Holy Thursday. It is not distributed on Holy Saturday until the vigil Mass that evening.

What day can you receive communion and there is no Mass?
There is no Mass on Good Friday and the communion distributed that day was consecrated at the Holy Thursday Mass. In pre-Vatican II times it was called the Mass of the Presanctified. There is no Mass until the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.
Can a Catholic receive Holy Communion when he arrives a little time before Holy Communion is distributed?
A priest from our parish said that one must be there at least in time for the Our Father to receive Holy Communion, but, in reality, you probably won't be denied Holy Communion if you arrived after the Our Father. Although you should not really even approach to receive if you are that late. If you have arrived that late, and it is a Sunday, you must either attend another Mass to fulfill your obligation or confess before receiving Holy Communion, as it is a mortal sin to miss a Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation Mass.
