Holy Orders
All catholic deacons, priests, and bishops receive the sacrament of holy orders.
Ordained Ministers in the Catholic Church receive the sacrament of holy orders. This one sacrament has three levels. The first level is the episcopate for the ordination of bishops. The second level is the priesthood for the ordination of priests, and the third level is the diaconate for the ordination of deacons.

Priests and Bishops. "Only priests (bishops and presbyters) are ministers of the Anointing of the Sick.131 It is the duty of pastors to instruct the faithful on the benefits of this sacrament. The faithful should encourage the sick to call for a priest to receive this sacrament. The sick should prepare themselves to receive it with good dispositions, assisted by their pastor and the whole ecclesial community, which is invited to surround the sick in a special way through their prayers and fraternal attention. " (CCC 1516)
.Catholic AnswerThe Sacrament of Holy Orders is the sacrament in which the ministry of Our Blessed Lord is carried on and men are configured to Christ to be His Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.
The Sacraments are Christ's Gifts to His Church. Every Sacrament we receive, we receive Him.
Yes. Usually deacon is only a degree before priesthood, but you can be so called "permament deacon". Permament deacons can't do things that priests can - celebrate holy mass, confess, but can (but it's not obligatory) be married. Person that want to be married constsnt deacon should have at least 35 years, finish special course, and if is married he should have permission from his wife. There is no difference between deacon that have to be priest, and deacon that will remain in this state for whole life.
Deacon, Priest and Bishop.DeaconFor the diaconate, there are two forms of ordination, permanent and transitional. For those men who are to be ordained as priests, the diaconate is a temporary period of service until ordination as priests.Functions of the deacon include reading the Gospel at mass, giving homilies, performing baptisms, witnessing weddings, and funerals. In contrast to priests, deacons do not grant absolution in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, do not administer the Sacraments of Healing or Confirmation, nor do they celebrate mass in the capacity of the priest (i.e. they are not instruments through whom bread and wine are transubstantianted into the Real Presence of Christ, as priests are unique instruments of this).In both the Latin Rite and Eastern Rites, men may be married before becoming deacons. However, should the husband be widowed, he vows not to marry again, in order that he might more fully serve the Church through his diaconate.PriestThe priest celebrates all 7 sacraments. In the Latin Rite, priests generally take the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, which usually precludes married priests. Under certain conditions, pastors who convert from other denominations (e.g. Anglicanism) are sometimes allowed to receive Holy Orders as married men. In the Eastern Rites, men may be married and be ordained as priests. However, in Eastern Rites, this usually precludes them from becoming bishops.BishopIn addtion to celebrating the 7 sacraments, the primary role of bishops is to teach and guide their dioceses. The teaching often takes the form of pastoral letters which may sometimes address difficult contemporary moral issues. Among the sacraments, the bishop is usually the one who celebrates the Sacrament of Confirmation, though a priest may receive special dispensation from his bishop to celebrate the Sacrament.
Yes, deacons are ordained, you are a deacon once you are ordained. You are gradually elevated (if you are a transitional deacon).
You can receive the sacrament of Penance if you have any sin including not only mortal sins but venial sins as well. If you have sin, it is recommended but not necessary to receive the sacrament (Except for mortal sins where you must confess it)
