Can a Deacon Baptise a baby?
In an emergency situation, ANYONE, even someone who is not baptized, CAN baptize anyone if they intend to do what the Church does when she baptizes. That being said, a Catholic deacon MAY baptize a baby legitimately for the Church. In the second case the deacon is acting as an ordained minister and fulfilling his function as such.
In the Catholic church there are two kinds of deacons- what are they?
The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.
If one is an ordained deacon then becomes a minister do you have do be ordained again as a minister?
Deacon and minister are just titles within a church. Once you are ordained you technically hold all of these titles and can perform all of the duties, but can specialize in one at a time, often your church will appoint you to such positions sometimes in a hierarchy. This is really a question for your church on how they treat such titles, but I don't know of any religion that doesn't consider being ordained for life.
Another name for altar server or altar boy?
Some people refer to them as "Acolytes" but this is incorrect as an acolyte is an ordained ministry that one receives before being ordained a deacon. The correct name is altar server.
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.
What is the role of permanent deacon?
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.
What is the name of the sacrament where a man becomes a priest?
Holy Orders- it is the scarament received when being ordained Deacon, Priest, and Bishop
Do ordained deacons of the episcopal diocese get paid?
Whether or not Catholic deacons get paid depends entirely on what their job is. A deacon in a parish may get paid depending on what he does for that parish. A deacon in a monastery would not be paid, any transitional deacon would be paid if and while he was working in a particular job, but would not be paid just for being a deacon.
Can a woman be a master of ceremonies in the Catholic Church?
A master of ceremonies at Mass must be a priest, or at least a cleric (deacon). As only men may be ordained, then that would rule out a woman being a master of ceremonies.

Will the Roman Catholic Church ordain someone who is physically handicapped?
No. Even uncontrollable stuttering will prevent one from being ordained a priest.
What is the role of deacons?
Deacons are ordained to the ministry and service of the bishop (as opposed to being ordained to the priesthood). Their primary responsibility, then, is in assisting the bishop in the governance of the diocese. They are often involved in the administration of the Church's resources, with a special consideration of the needs of the poor and vulnerable. Deacons also are called upon to preach and to assist in the sacramental ministry of the local church. Though their primary ministry is normally supra-parocchial, each deacon is resident in a local parish and may assist there.
