No. However they can be married prior to becoming ordained a Deacon and stay married. They can have children before or after the ordination as a married Deacon.
However, it is my understanding that, once ordained, the deacon must remain celebate.

∙ 11y agoNo: It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
In the Catholic Church, a married man may be ordained deacon, but every man who is ordained to the diaconate must make a promise or perpetual celibacy, which means that he may not get married. In other words, the Church will ordain a married man to the diaconate, but he will be unable to remarry should his wife die, or for any other reason. If is not married when he is ordained, he will never be able to be married.

∙ 10y agoI assume that most Catholic deacons can have children, and that Catholic permanent deacons, who may be married when they are ordained, may have children. Also, a widowed man ordained to the diaconate may have children.

Is a deacon-officiated ceremony recognized by the Catholic Church?
Yes, if done with permission of the pastor. A deacon, however, can not say Mass, hear confessions or anoint the sick. He can lead prayer services (such as Stations of the Cross, novenas, etc.) and can baptize and marry couples.
Does the deacon have to be married?
In the Catholic Church, once a man has received ordination of the diaconate, he cannot marry. However, if a man is already married, he can then become a deacon (this is known as being part of the permanent diaconate, as opposed to the transitional diaconate, which is for men who intend to become priests). Should a permanent deacon's wife pass away, he is not free to marry again.

A Deacon is an ordained minister and cleric of the Catholic Church and has the authority to perform the Sacraments of Baptism, and Marriage providing there is no Mass.

Can a Catholic chaplain get married?
It depends upon the level of his ordination.If he is a laychaplain - i.e. if he is not ordained - then yes, he can marry.If he has been ordained a deacon in the Catholic Church, then again, he can marry.But if the chaplain is an ordained priest (or bishop), then in the Roman Catholic Church they are not allowed to marry and take a vow of celibacy (not having sex) at their ordination.There has been a lot of controversy over this man-made rule recently especially as a very small percentage of priests in the Anglican Church (who ARE allowed to marry) have defected to the Catholic Church because they disagreed with women in the Anglican Church being allowed to be ordained. This has caused quite a stir and many feel the ban on marriage of priests in the Roman Catholic Church as outdated and wrong and are looking to the time when married priests and bishops (of both sexes) will be allowed into the Catholic Church.
Can a Catholic marry in a presbyterian church?

.Catholic AnswerYes, in the normal way of doing things, a Catholic must be married before a priest or deacon in a Church.

Do protestants have to take classes at a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic in a protestant church?
Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church. Even if it is outside a Catholic Church, the wedding must still be witnessed by a Catholic priest (deacon, or bishop) or it is not valid.
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'.
