Hello,

is there a list that lists all the stuff that is required/usefull for a solemn high mass. You know like for example candelas or other things? I don’t want to forget anything. Thanks in advance
 
Most of all, you need a priest willing and able to say the EF Latin Mass. He will know the particular items that he needs, what he owns and doesn’t own.
 
For a solemn High Mass you need;

1- a priest with vestments
2- a deacon with dalmatic
3- a subdeacon with tunicle

Plus all the Altar hardware, cards.

at least 4 but preferred more altar boys. (not girls) They should be well trained in the latin responses.

a schola to chant the propers and a choir for the entrance and recessional. These two are often combined depending on their talents.

A box of missalettes for the congregation.

This just scratches the surface. Don’t be discouraged but forge ahead. 👍
 
A Solemn High Mass is fairly complex with many clerics and servers performing unique functions during the Mass. As mentioned above, aside from Priest, Deacon, and Sub-deacon, you will need an MC, Thurifer, (2) acolytes, a crossbearer, and 2 to 6 torch bearers.

It is essential to get a copy of Fr. Adrian Fortescue’s “Ceremonies of the Roman Rite” - the handbook that every sacristan depends on where the Tridentine Mass and its various solemn and simple forms is regularly held. It describes each person’s function, what they do and when, and what vestments and sacramentals are used.

A “simple” Missa Cantata and Low Mass is also covered by Fortescue.
