IN BRIEF
1596 Deacons are ministers
ordained for tasks of service of the Church; they do not receive the
ministerial priesthood, but ordination confers on them important functions in
the ministry of the word, divine worship, pastoral governance, and the service
of charity, tasks which they must carry out under the pastoral authority of
their bishop.
