What Is a Travel Liturgy Kit?
A travel liturgy kit (also called a Mass kit or viaticum set) is a compact collection of sacred vessels and linens designed for priests who celebrate Mass while traveling, in hospitals, or during pastoral visits to the sick and homebound.
Contents of a Typical Kit
- Small chalice (often collapsible or disassemblable)
- Paten
- Corporal
- Purificator
- Pall
- Small cruets for wine and water
- Pyx for carrying consecrated hosts
- Compact missal or liturgical book
Materials and Portability
Our travel kits are designed for portability without sacrificing dignity. Chalices are often made of lightweight brass or silver-plated metal, and linens are compactly folded to fit in a carrying case.
Use for Viaticum
Travel kits are essential for priests bringing Viaticum (final Communion) to the dying. The pyx and necessary linens allow for a dignified celebration of this final sacrament.
