May you receive Holy Communion if you don't confess your sins and you are Catholic?
You should never approach to receive Holy Communion if you have not been to confession and are in a state of mortal (serious) sin. To receive Holy Communion in a state of serious sin, is sacrilege, and another very serious sin. Very serious sins include missing Mass on any Sunday OR Holy Day of Obligation. Church law requires that you go to confession at least once a year, even if you have no serious sins on your soul. If you haven't been to confession the last Lent or Easter, that alone would be a serious sin that would keep you from Holy Communion. Also being Catholic and not educating yourself correctly in the laws and rules of the Church would be a serious sin. Not knowing that you shouldn't receive Holy Communion in a state of sin would qualify. You should discuss this with the priest in the confessional as soon as possible.
