Catholic AnswerI believe what you are asking is if a priest MAY say Mass in different states, he certainly CAN, but normally he MAY not. In other words, he is capable of doing it because he is a priest, but he may only say Mass where he has faculties. Normally a priest may only say Mass and hear confessions in his own diocese. His Bishop normally extends faculties to him as soon as he is ordained. This would be a separate license that is usually given to the priest at the ordination ceremony. If a neighboring diocese has reciprocal faculties with his diocese then he may say Mass there, otherwise, he would need to apply to the Bishop of that diocese to receive permission to say Mass.

∙ 16y agoI believe that can be done with the Approval of the Dioceses Bishop for diocesisan priests. However, for missionary orders, and non-dioceses priests, like Jesuits, Franciscans, etc. who travel the countries and the world, I don't know if there is any approval necessary

Can a visiting catholic priest say mass at Fatima?
.Catholic AnswerA priest has a small license from his bishop saying that he is permitted to say Mass. To say Mass outside of his diocese he must obtain permission from the Bishop of that diocese and the pastor or rector of the local Church he is in. Some dioceses have reciprocal permissions standing between neighboring dioceses. I believe in Fatima, he would need to obtain permission from the Rector of the Basilica who would have contact with the bishop.

Can a priest say Mass alone?
Yes. E.g., a priest who is retired or traveling could say daily Mass by himself. Also, if there's no one else in the parish at that time, he would still say it.AnswerIf you mean one priest per mass, with a congregation, its the norm, though it can be concelebrated . If you mean one priest, alone without a congregation, yes, as the person answered above. .Catholic AnswerTechnically, a priest is never supposed to say a Mass entirely alone, he should have an altar server. This is called a private Mass, e.g. a Mass said with no "congregation". However, even if there is no altar server available, a priest is never entirely alone as at every Mass there is always a host of Angels standing in honor of their Lord and God. At one small monastery I visited there were two priests who always said a private Mass and they took turns being each other's server.

What time Mass on Saturday counts in the Roman Catholic Church as a Sunday Mass?
Catholic AnswerDifferent dioceses may have different regulations on when an anticipated Sunday or Holy Day Mass may be celebrated on the day before. It must be late Afternoon or evening, a Saturday Mass celebrated with the weekday (Saturday) readings does NOT count as your Sunday obligation. The important thing is whether the actual Mass being said is the Mass of Sunday or the Holy Day: i.e., it has three readings from the Sunday, the Gloria, Creed, etc. If the Sunday Mass is being celebrated, then it fulfills your obligation. If it is another Mass, say, perhaps a Saturday Mass being celebrated in the afternoon for a wedding, then it would not count for your obligation. If you have a particular question about a particular situation, please ask the priest who will be saying the Mass.
