Where in the Bible does it say you 'have' to do that? What Church is it? I'm just curious

Catholic. The "breaking of bread" represents Jesus at the last supper. The bread or communion, represents Christ's body and him giving himself up to forgive our sins.

"Breaking the bread" is commemorating the "Lord's Supper" that Jesus instituted (Matthew 26). This includes eating unlevened bread to remember His body and drinking grape juice to remember His blood, and remembering His death (sacrifice). (1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
The early church did this on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7).
Today, churches who follow this Biblical command and example continue this practice.
Among those are the Church of Christ, Catholics, Mormons, and others.
Please see the articles in the attached links to further explain this.

Before I start, I apologize for the caps, I'm not screaming, I just don't think there is a way to make things bold or emphasized without them.
And Jesus broke the bread, saying, "take and eat, this is my body given for you" DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME"
Again after supper, he took the wine, drank it, saying "This is my blood, shed for the new covenant, (quote not exactly correct) take and drink, again DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME"
I believe this is in Mark.
