The Book of Concord, the confessions of the Lutheran Church, refer to is as the Mass.
You'll also hear it called "Divine Service" based on the German word Gottesdienst and which roughtly corresponds with "Liturgy".

What are the sacraments at the service of communion?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn these days of the priest shortage, a Communion Service, in which a layman conducts a brief prayer service and distributes Holy Communion (that was consecrated at an earlier Mass) has become a sad necessity in places. One would receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist in Holy Communion, but the service itself, and everything else about it is most definitely NOT a sacrament.
What day is Holy Communion not distributed?
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?

Can a Catholic child from a split marriage receive Holy Communion if she is not in the habit of going to Church?
Whether or not you may receive Holy Communion depends on whether you are in a state of grace and properly disposed to receive Holy Communion (and a Catholic). Thus, if you are a Catholic child, and have been to confession recently and are not in a state of sin, and have already made your first Holy Communion, then you may receive Holy Communion. What gives me pause is your "not in the habit of going to Church". Missing a Sunday Mass or a Mass on any Holy Day of your own free will would put you in a state of mortal sin, and you would be unable to receive Holy Communion until you had been in to confession. Your best bet would be to give your local priest a call, make an appointment, and go down and have a talk with him, and make a good confession while you are there. The priest will be able to guide you as to how and when you make receive Holy Communion, and the absolution from the confession will put you in a state of grace to be able to receive Holy Communion.
Is Eucharist the same as Holy Communion?
Yes, in the Catholic Church, the Eucharist and Holy Communion refer to the same thing; although the Eucharist not only refers to His abiding presence in Holy Communion, it may also refer to the Real Presence or the Sacrifice of the Mass.
Who are the helpers in the holy mass?
Altar Servers or laypeople which are the people who give out communion.
