Deacons serve tables:
[2] Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. [3] Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. (Acts 6)
A deacon witnessing to the faith, explaining scripture and baptizing a convert:
[29] And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. [30] And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?[31] Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. [32] And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. [33] In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? [34] And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man? [35] Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
[36] And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized? [37] And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. [38] And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
(Acts 8)
Priests serve the Eucharist and sit on thrones:
This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. [...] he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth. [27] For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth: [28] And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations: [29] And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom; [30] That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Lk 22)
Priests annoint the sick
Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14)
Bishops ordain priests:
thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee (Tituus 1:5)
Bishops rule the Church
Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)
Read the Holy Scripture every now and then and you, too, will flee the foolishness of Protestantism and become a Catholic Christian ready to witness to others.
““..... the appointment of Stephen and the other Deacons was somehow more significant that just assigning them some tasks.”
Deacons was not a title so the caps aren't necessary and if there was something extraordinary about the means or duties they were assigned it isn't spoken of in the Scriptures.”
Being termed a deacon, diakonos, minister does not imply “somehow more significant” duties. Anyone that served others could be termed a deacon or diakonos, a minister.
THAT was the context. If you still can't understand it, there's not much more I can do.
In the same way bishops, overseers, episkopos, (small ‘b’ since no one in the scriptures carried or was referred to with Bishop being used as a title. The bishop was an overseer not a ruler and most translations and lexicons recognize this fact. It's a description of duties, not a title in the Scriptures.
“Bishops rule the Church
Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)”
This is an example of a bias in translating as the word here translated as “rule” is the Greek word “poimainein” and means here ‘to shepherd or pastor’ the flock not to rule. The overseers were to be shepherds per Jesus not rulers. Jesus is the only ruler.

“Priests serve the Eucharist and sit on thrones:”
The word “presbuteros” means simply an elder, an older man and does not connote the idea of a priest. The overseers’ duties and the elders were essentially the same, to be shepherds of the flock.
The only instance of any Christian being termed a priest was those that had been resurrected to heaven to serve as kings and priests. There were no priests in the Christian church, that is a novelty of Catholicism, there were older men, elders, presbuteros, but no priests.
