In the Catholic church, a celebrant is one who celebrates a sacrament. In a wedding, this would be the priest because he is the one authorized to perform the marriage.
The celebrant of baptism is the person who administers the sacrament by pouring water. This is the priest or deacon. In cases of emergency only, anyone can baptize, if the person is not old enough to speak for themselves. But the usual celebrant is the priest or deacon or bishop.
Besides the priest, only an ordained catholic Deacon.Roman Catholic AnswerUsually the celebrant, the priest (or Bishop) presiding at the Eucharist, reads the Gospel, so the question should probably read: "who, besides the presiding priest (or Bishop) may proclaim the Gospel?" And the answer would be: any other concelebrant bishop or priest; or any other bishop or priest at the Mass; or a deacon. And only a bishop, priest, or deacon may ever proclaim the Gospel at Mass.

There are some in the Catholic Church who use the word "presider" to refer to the priest (or Bishop) celebrant at Mass. Technically this is incorrect as the word presider is not used in any official Church documents, while the word "celebrant" refers to the priest or bishop who presides at a Mass. The word "celebrant" is used in the GIRM and the CCC.
Normally, the Bishop is the celebrant of confirmation. A priest may confirm with the bishop's permission or regularly in certain circumstances: when he is baptizing an adult convert, during the Easter Vigil, and at certain other times.
