Deacon is the first of the Major Orders (Deacon, Priest, Bishop) in the Roman Catholic Church. There are two types of Deacons: 1) Transitional, who are only ordained, usually for a year, before they are ordained to the Priesthood, and 2) Permanent Deacons. Deacons perform weddings, baptisms, are Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, and may read the Gospel and preach a homily at Mass. They were a stole across their chest on a diagonal and a Dalmatic (a tunic like vestment similar to the priest's Chasuble.)

Can a widower re marry after becoming a deacon?
Nope. The Catholic Church on this is pretty clear. Those who are unmarried and become deacons can not marry afterwards. Those who are already married and become deacons can not marry again should their wife pass on, leaving them as a widow. An unwed or widowed deacon can become a full priest. However, in the Anglican or Episcopal Church, both deacons and priests may marry, whether or not the deacon or priest is male or female. A divorced deacon or priest wishing to remarry may present a problem, but if a priest or deacon is widowed, they are free to remarry, as, at their wedding vows they promised to stay together 'until death us do part'.
