Deacons are ordained to service, including a sacramental role. Deacons preach and assist at liturgical celebrations, baptize, witness marriages, preside at funerals and burials, distribute the Eucharist, and minister in many other ways. Deacons do not have the same sacramental role as priests, because deacons do not consecrate the Eucharist, hear confessions, or anoint the sick.
