In the Catholic church if it not permited for someone to take communion if they have not been through the classes and steps to receive their first communion, if they are not a member of the Catholic church, or if they have not been to confession recently.

If you have committed a mortal sin, and have not gone to confession, you are not able to receive the Eucharist. This means you broke a commandment, including missing church voluntarily, and (technically) using the Lord's name in vain.

If you are literally traveling that day (as in flying or driving, not as in out of town, as there is probably some type of church nearby, wherever you are), if you are to young to get to church on your own (i.e., you don't have a driver's license and are not able to walk, bike, etc.), or if you are sick, that is not a mortal sin.

In order to receive Holy Communion, you must:

1. Be a baptized Catholic

2. Be in a state of grace (free from mortal sin -- this is achieved through the Sacrament of Penance)

3. Have been fasting without food or drink (except water and medicine) for at least one hour; traditional practice is fasting for three hours or since midnight
