No, only a Catholic who has been ordained as a deacon, priest, or bishop can perform a valid baptism in the Catholic Church.
No, a deacon administers the sacrament of Baptism. Deacons can reside over a Marriage Ceremony as the official 'Witness'. This is because only two lay people can administer the sacrament of Marriage.
For an ordinary person to administer baptism, they typically need the intention to baptize, the use of water, and the invocation of the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). The act should be performed with the belief that baptism is a sacrament of initiation into the Christian faith. While generally performed by a priest or deacon, in emergencies, anyone can administer baptism if these conditions are met.
Deacon, priest and bishop are the ordained ministries.
A transitory deacon is a person who will be ordained a priest. All priest are first ordained as deacons. A permanent deacon is a person who will remain a deacon for life, unless at some future date he decides to become a priest and is ordained to that order as well.
A deacon assists priests in the celebration of the liturgy, proclaims the Gospel during Mass, and can administer certain sacraments such as baptism and marriage. Deacons also participate in various forms of pastoral ministry and service to the community.
The role of a permanent deacon is that they remain a deacon and do not move on to becoming a priest, bishop, etc. They can minister some sacraments and can celebrate mass, but their main role is to help the church, community and charities- through the church. They work for the church.
