Catholic AnswerYes, a Catholic is required to attend Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. The Church has tried to make this easier by supplying a Sunday (or Holy Day) Mass on the evening preceding, thus Sunday Mass is celebrated in most Churches starting on Saturday evening and this fulfills your obligation.

Do you have to go to Mass again if you went to Christmas Mass on Saturday?
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, if Christmas falls on a Saturday, you must attend Mass for the Holy Day, and then again on Sunday for the Sunday. In the United States, the obligation for a Holy Day is abrogated if the Holy Day falls on Saturday only for *some* Holy Days of Obligation - Christmas is NOT one of them.

At what age are catholics excused from not attending mass?
The only age at which a Catholic could be excused from attending Mass would not be a chronological age exactly, but perhaps when one is too old or sick to be able to attend Mass and there is no help available. Otherwise, I should think death would be the only acceptable measure!
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.
Can anyone attend the Tridentine Mass?

How often may a Catholic receive the Eucharist?
Daily Pre-Vatican II only once a day. Post-Vatican II (lax) (on a Saturday for example) once at a daily Mass (liturgy of the day); should you attend a funeral after Mass you may receive as part of the grieving community; should you attend a Nuptial on that day, you may receive as part of the celebrating community; should you wish to attend the Vigil Mass that afternoon, so as not to have to get up early in time for Sunday Mass) you could attend the Mass [if offered after 4PM] you may receive, as it is a different liturgy from the morning Mass. (That makes 4) To top that off, if you did get up early enough on Sunday and wanted to go to Mass on Sunday, you could receive, for even though it is the same liturgy as the Vigil Mass it is being offered on a different day.
Do you have to go to Mass twice in one day?
You can go to Mass as often as it is available throughout the day and as your duty of state allows. You are only obliged to attend Mass once a week, on Sunday, unless a Holy Day of obligation falls during the week as well. In modern practice, some Catholics go to Mass on Saturday evening to fulfill their Sunday obligation. This is a contested issue, as some churchmen feel this is an abuse but it is widely practiced in many dioceses.
