Most essential, inexpensive items

  1. Chalice 2
  2. Even a used Magnificat has the essential prayers for Mass
  3. Any crucifix will do for the altar
  4. Hosts are important https://shop.catholicsupply.com/store/p/163-2-3/4-White-Host.aspx
  5. Set of 12 purificators/corporals
  6. Any bowl will do for a lavabo bowl. Any white towel would be fine for a lavabo towel.
  7. It is fitting to have a separate cruet, but any glass cup could suffice.
  8. A Simple white chasuble is sufficient: Plain white chasuble
