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. This is because, unlike a Priest, a Deacon cannot preside over the Eucharistic Sacrament.
They are sanctioned to read the gospel and deliver the homily during Mass as well.

Who can marry you Eg a vicar?
In the Roman Catholic Church, celibacy is optional only for deacons and laypeople. Celibacy is mandatory for any position higher than deacon. You cannot marry a vicar. Deacons can be married before being ordained as a deacon, and can keep their wives afterwards, but if a single man is ordained as a deacon, he cannot be married later. Thus, you can only marry laypeople, and the only position that your spouse can obtain without getting a divorce is a deacon. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, a married man can become a deacon or priest, but if he is ordained as a deacon or priest while unmarried, he cannot get married later. Celibacy is required for any position higher than priest. In most Protestant denominations, any member of the clergy can be married.

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.
