Can a Catholic receive Communion twice in one day?

[woodlief]

Can a catholic receive holy communion twice in one day? This Sunday, I am attending the 11 am mass (being offered for the repose of the soul of a relative) as well as the 6PM Mass, Eucharistic minister. I wanted to know if it is acceptable to receive holy communion at each Mass.
