A deacon cannot celebrate a full Mass (meaning they cannot consecrate the bread and wine for a Mass), hear confessions, or anoint the sick.

They can baptize, marry outside of Mass, and bless things and people.

They can be married before they are ordained, but once they are ordained they cannot get married or remarry.
