The bishop is the one who validly confers the Sacrament of Holy Orders. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
1576 Since the sacrament of Holy Orders is the sacrament of the apostolic ministry, it is for the bishops as the successors of the apostles to hand on the "gift of the Spirit," the "apostolic line." Validly ordained bishops, i.e., those who are in the line of apostolic succession, validly confer the three degrees of the sacrament of Holy Orders.

The seven helpers were chosen in the early Christian church to assist with the distribution of food and aid to widows because there was a need for equitable distribution among the diverse community of believers, which included both Hebrew and Hellenistic Jews. This helped address a specific issue within the community and allowed the apostles to focus on their primary duties of preaching and prayer.
Deacons and alter servers help the priest during the liturgy.
