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.

Can a priest say Mass in different dioceses?
.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.
