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.
