What would be an appropriate gift for a Catholic deaconate ordination candidate who will become a Catholic priest?
Deacons who will become priests need all kinds of things, most of them very expensive. I would check with the deacon's family and see if they are going together to get him a paten and chalice, or a set of vestments, a sick call set, etc. and see if you could go in with some others on purchasing one of these items. If not, ask the family what he still needs. Deacons will mostly be performing weddings, baptisms, and preaching at Mass, for their deacon year, and all they need for that is vestments, mainly stoles, transitional deacons rarely invest in a full set of vestments that they will be wearing for less than a year.

What is the difference between Catholic ordination and an Anglo ordination?
Catholic Ordination is a sacrament instituted by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and administered by a Bishop, who has his consecration in the Apostolic succession. It ontologically changes the man thus ordained. . Anglican ordination is a similar ceremony that institutes a man OR a woman into one of the three orders of protestant clergy in the Anglican Communion. Anglican ordination does not confer an ontological change, and this was ruled infallibly by Pope Leo XIII in Apostoloicae Curae, attached below.
