What is the relationship of the deacon to the pastor?
The Deacon is usually the right hand of the pastor. In the absence of the pastor the chairman of the Deacon Board or ministry is in charge. If the church is for any reason without a pastor the deacon(s) are in charge. That is spiritually, financially, and will give counsel when necessary. In many traditional baptist churches the deacons pretty much run everything, this often includes the Pastor, as he answers to the Deacons. The deacons in the baptist church are the only other ordained ministry other than the pastor. Therefore the relation of the Deacons and Pastor are usually very close.
Is there any time that deacons in a church can make decisions without bringing to the congregation?
In a Baptist church, the main duty of leadership falls to the pastor/preacher, who is expected to lead his church according to the Bible. He is free to appoint deacons (or have them elected, etc.) and other leadership roles as he sees fit. Some pastors prefer alot of help; some prefer very little. Any and all authority that the deacons have is determined by the pastor.

Duties of a deaconess?
There are no duties of a deaconess in the apostolic church, because there were never any women appointed . Stephen was a man, and in the Bible it reads the deacon must be the husband of one wife. So show me how a woman can become something the Bible does not teach? Read Romans 16:1-2
What are the duties of a deacon in the Roman Catholic Church?
This very much depends on your church. The word deacon is derived from the greek word that means servant (as in a waiter at a restaurant). This indicates that deacons are to serve the church. Churches get this idea from the argument in the church recorded in Acts 6. In this story, the apostles appointed deacons to serve the church so the apostles could concern themselves with other matters. This should give an idea of what deacons do. They take care of things in the church so that the other leaders can focus on spreading the word.
