Hi, guys —
- Are we allowed to receive the Holy Eucharist
twice in a day?
- And, is there a special exception made
for the Sunday services?

Dear Ray,
Saturday morning Mass and Saturday
evening Mass are not the same liturgical
day (the latter is for Sunday). However,
even if it was, my understanding
of canon law (Church law) is that
it is acceptable to receive Our Lord
in the Eucharist two times even in
the same liturgical day.
So receive Holy Communion with a
clear conscience.

Hi Ray,
Just to add to Paul's answer, if
receiving a second time, it can't
be at a Communion service;
it must be at a Mass.
This part of the Liturgical norm
doesn't apply to your question directly,
but it's good to know for future
reference.
