From what I have read, if you are married first, you can become a deacon. If you are single and are ordained a deacon, you take a vow of celibacy. Is that correct?

**acquire the right to celebrate religious functions such as marriages, funerals, baptisms and administer the sacraments, except for mass and confession.**

Permanent deacons can not administer the Sacrament of the Annointing of the Sick also.
