Can a Catholic receive commat sat mass and again at a sat mass?
What do you mean by a "sat mass" and what do you mean by"commat". I can only infer that sat means Saturday and commat means communion so I might get the question wrong because of the question's unclearness. Yes, it is not sinful to receive communion many times, but my priest said that you should only receive Holy Communion two times or less. I have not heard this straight from Father, but I have heard my friend tell me.
How many times can a Catholic receive communion in a day?
A Catholic may receive Communion twice in one day or three times under certain conditions: Let's say a person attends a Saturday morning Mass and later in the day attends a wedding. The person can receive communion at both Masses. If the same person then attends the Saturday evening anticipated Mass, he/she is free to receive again as that Mass counts as the Sunday obligation.
How often should you take Communion?
You may never "take" Holy Communion, you may only "receive" Holy Communion. You should receive Holy Communion as frequently as you can, while you are in a state of grace, and have been fasting. You may not receive Holy Communion more than twice a day, and the second time only if you have been to an entire Mass. If you are not in a state of grace, or are not fasting, or have already received Holy Communion that day, you should never receive.

If they are not in a state of serious sin, Catholics may receive communion every time they assist at Mass for a maximum of twice per day.

Is there a priest at a Holy Communion service?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only times that a Catholic Church would have a Communion service would be if a priest were not available. In my diocese the rules are that a parish may have a Communion service on one Sunday out of the year if it is impossible to get a priest. The Vatican forbids Communion services during the week, and on a regular basis. There had to have been a priest there before the Communion service to consecrate the Sacred Hosts.
How many times can you take communion in one day?
Once ... that isTake this example. You attend Mass daily. You receive at the morning Mass on a Saturday. [You may only receive once a day]. A friend has died, and you wish to show sacramental union with the family - it is a different liturgy, you may receive. Another friend had scheduled a nuptial Mass that same afternoon, you many receive - it is a different liturgy. You weren't invited to the reception, so you decide to take advantage of the Vigil Mass that evening. You may receive - it is a different liturgy. On Sunday, your family wants you to go to Mass with them... but you already went .... You may receive. It is a different day.Correction:A Catholic may receive the Eucharist twice in a day under normal circumstances, or three times under one particular circumstance. Let's say you attend 8:00 morning Mass on a Saturday and receive communion. Later that day you attend a Catholic funeral or wedding. You are allowed to also receive at that Mass. If you attend the anticipated Mass that evening to fulfill your Sunday obligation you may also receive Communion.

Why is forbidden to take Communion in a Catholic Church if you are a Christian but not Catholic?
Catholics consider holy communion to be a "sacrament". Sacraments are special graces from God conferred only to Catholics. Most involve a clergy member administering it to the Catholic. As a member of the church, Catholics are required to live a sacramental life which simply means that the sacraments (baptism, reconciliation, holy communion, confirmation, marriage, holy orders, and annointing of the sick) must be administered to the Catholic at various times and frequencies. Holy Communion is one of them, and it must be administered at a minimum of one time per year in the Easter season. As a Catholic, in my personal opinion, I believe that the exclusiveness of this is largely because being so sacred, the sacraments are something that a person must fully understand and commit to. In this case, a Catholic clergy member would only administer the blessed sacrament (the host) to someone he knows is aware of what they are doing (actually consuming the flesh of Christ) and giving the proper respect and awe to our Lord in the form of bread and wine. ~MFC Basically, if you receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church it means you believe in all the beliefs and teachings of Catholicism, including that of the True Presence of Our Lord in Communion. Few, if any, non-Catholics accept the teachings and doctrines of the Church so would be committing sacrilege by receiving Communion.
Is it a sin to take communion twice in one day in the Episcopal Church?
No, of course not. Otherwise priests who celebrate (and receive communion) sometimes several times daily would sin more than most! Traditionally in the last century a guideline of 'once a day' was given in some churches, but this was never a hard and fast rule, and was not scriptural anyway. Provided that you receive the bread and wine in the appropriate manner, with love, humility, gratitude, and repentance, it is perfectly Ok to receive communion more than once in a day. I think that God is far more concerned with the contents of our characters and our hearts than on whether or not we receive communion more than once a day. Some people go to church in the morning and then go to a worship service in the afternoon, taking communion both times. It is not inappropriate.
Is it a sin to take communion twice in one day in the Catholic Church?
I am not a Catholic, but I would think that they would follow the Biblical instruction, that "AS OFT(en) as ye (you) do it (in regards to the Lord's Supper/Eucharist/communion), think of me(Christ who is bread that was broken, and His blood symbolizing but not becoming the blood of Christ).Answer from an Ex-CatholicNo. As long as you comply with pre-requisites; Confessing your sin and done your penance. If you have not comitted any sin/s between communions, then you don't need to confess.You can take communion twice within a 24 hour period. You cannot take communion more than that in a 24 hour period.Addendum:It is perfectly okay to receive communion twice per day in the Catholic Church but no more than twice. However, let us say a person attends mass at 8:00 AM and then again a funeral or wedding mass later in the day. Then that person assists at an evening anticipated Mass to comply with the Sunday obligation. That person could receive again as the Church considers that to be a Sunday mass. So, the person received communion three times in a 24 hour period and it was completely within Church guidelines. I am aware of just such a situation that arose recently in my parish and the pastor said it was proper.It is perfectly okay to receive communion twice per day in the Catholic Church but no more than twice.
