Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, celebrated the first Catholic Mass the night before He suffered and died. It is in The Bible in Mark 14, Matthew 26, Luke 22, and talked about in John 6, and 1 Corinthians 11.
The priest said Mass.
A bishop is first of all a priest and can say mass as any priest can.
No, it is not required nor suggested. That is one of the priest's normal duties.

Neither. A priest celebrates a mass.
The number of celebrants, concelebrants or other assistants are immaterial. Mass is the name for all such events.

The lead Priest in a Mass is the Celebrant.
Catholic priests accompanied the earliest explorers and they said mass. So the first mass was said well before the US was the US.
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.
