A Deacon is ordained to preach and minister, both in the Liturgy and outside. In the United States, for example, the Catholic Bishops have designated Social Justice issues as particularly appropriate for deacons, as they are a link between the clerical and lay states. A Catholic Deacon, with proper permission, can minister baptisms, lead Communion services or assist the priest at Eucharist, and preside at weddings.

A Bishop has the fullness of orders. Ordained from among the Priests, the bishop can minister any of the sacraments. A bishop is usally assigned to a diocese, a local church, to care for the people living there.
