Travel Mass Kits & Oil Stocks
A travel Mass kit packs a small chalice, paten and pyx into a case, often with cruets, candles and linens. A priest can then celebrate Mass in a home, hospital or mission chapel. Related items are oil stocks for the holy oils used in anointing and baptism. Disposable sick call kits add candles and a holy water bottle. Kits here differ in pieces included, case dimensions, brass or stainless construction and how much the maker discloses.
A priest with regular hospital rounds needs a compact kit, such as the Needzo chalice, paten and pyx set. Add a three-stock oil set marked OI, OS and SC. The Sudbury kit with sprinkler and the Religious Supply Center kit are fuller sets, but the listings give few details, so confirm contents before buying. Deacons and lay ministers bringing Communion can use the hard case communion set. Keep a few disposable sick call kits for anointings.

Questions before you order
What does a travel Mass kit contain?
At minimum a small chalice, a paten and a pyx, as in the Needzo set, where the chalice is 6 inches tall. Fuller kits add cruets, a crucifix, candles, an oil stock, a sprinkler, a stole and linens. Contents vary by maker, so read the listing closely.
What do OI, OS and SC mean on oil stocks?
They mark the three holy oils. OI is Oleum Infirmorum, the oil of the sick. OS is Oleum Sanctum, the oil of catechumens. SC is Sacrum Chrisma, the chrism used at baptism, confirmation and ordination. Matching stocks keep the oils from being mixed up.
How many hosts does a travel pyx hold?
The pyx in the Needzo travel kit is 2.75 inches across with a secure lid, enough for a small gathering. Larger pyxes for nursing home rounds hold 60 hosts. The disposable sick call kit contains no pyx; the minister brings hosts separately.
How should brass travel vessels be cared for?
Rinse the chalice and dry it before packing so moisture does not sit inside the case. Keep oil stocks upright and wipe any oil off the brass, since oil holds dust and dulls the finish. Polish with a soft cloth only, and check that case foam or lining is dry.
