Can Catholic receive communion outside Catholic church example at lutheran church?
Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.
What is the container for the Host called?
The container that is used to carry the host to the sick or shut-ins is called a pyx.Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on which "container" you are talking about. The pyx is used for a few Hosts to be brought to the sick, a luna holds a single large Host to be put in a monstrance or ostensorium for adoration and/or benediction; a tabernacle is used to respose a number of Hosts between Masses for Communion for the Sick, or Communion outside of Mass, etc. A ciborium holds a number of Hosts to be distributed for Holy Communion, a paten is a saucerlike dish, usually of gold, to hold a Host during Mass. Those are the usual containers that would normally be used for a Host.

Is there a difference between Catholic priest and Communion minister?
Roman Catholic AnswerOne is real, the other is not. You are probably referring to what is the difference between a Catholic priest and an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.

Most Catholic children receive their First Holy Communion when they reach the age of reason, about seven years of age.

Children usually require one or two years of education about the sacrament before they receive communion for the first time.
What do you have to do to get wine and bread in the Catholic Church?
First off, it is not wine and bread. It has been changed and is the body of Christ. That is probably what is restricting you from receiving communion. The Catholic and Orthodox believe that it had been transfigured, even though it doesn't change form, the bread and wine change in essence. To receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Church, you yourself need to become Catholic and believe in the Transfiguration
Why do girls whear white on their first holy communion?
The veil has a long history in the Catholic church and was traditionally worn by women to show reverence during Mass. Although no longer used in many Western Catholic churches, the veil is still used during First Holy Communion for those receiving the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist for the first time to show the significance of the ceremony.
When did unconfirmed children start receiving communion?
Sometime around 500AD. The Bishop used to confirm at same time as Baptism, but growing numbers made this impossible. Now most Catholic Churches Confirm multitudes after Communion, usually between ages of 12-16. Some, however, by direction of the bishop, do get confirmed at Baptism before communion.
Can an Orthodox pray in a Catholic church or the opposite?
