What is the minimal setup for a Catholic mass?

I discussed with a friend about the absolute minimum required to have a mass, and I found it particularly difficult to find documentation about these requirements. The obvious one (for me at least) is a priest, or someone allowed to perform a mass. We were not clear about anything else, my friend also mentioned that a priest always wears a stole when proceeding to sacraments. Is there a documented **minimal** set of elements and people required for a mass to be held? EDIT following the comments: I was hoping for a document that states something along the lines of *"in order for a mass to be licit, it must be performed by XXX and YYY, ZZZ must be used"*.
