The container that is used to carry the host to the sick or shut-ins is called a pyx.
Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on which "container" you are talking about. The pyx is used for a few Hosts to be brought to the sick, a luna holds a single large Host to be put in a monstrance or ostensorium for adoration and/or benediction; a tabernacle is used to respose a number of Hosts between Masses for Communion for the Sick, or Communion outside of Mass, etc. A ciborium holds a number of Hosts to be distributed for Holy Communion, a paten is a saucerlike dish, usually of gold, to hold a Host during Mass. Those are the usual containers that would normally be used for a Host.
