Vestments and vestments for temporary and permanent Catholic deacons

Liturgical vestments are clothing and accessories worn by those who have the right to use them during the celebrations according to the law established by the Catholic Church.

Within the liturgical vestments there is a group of proper garments, the diaconal order , one of the three degrees of the Sacrament of the priestly order: the episcopal order (the Bishops) and the order of the presbyterate (the priests or presbysters).

The diaconal stole and the diaconal dalmatic are garments with their own characteristics whose main objective is to be worn by ordained deacons, whether they are permanent deacons or transitory deacons.

What to give a deacon at his ordination?

Ordination as a deacon is one of the most important days for anyone who has decided to follow the path of the Word of the Lady. Many are the years of studies and sacrifices that must be carried out during the preparation to reach diaconal ordination.

Whether the person is going to be ordained as a temporary deacon or as a permanent deacon, there is an illusion among the candidates for the arrival of the sacramental act of ordination.

If you are looking for a gift to give to a Catholic deacon, liturgical vestments are one of the gifts that can be used the most during the performance of their work. Stoles, dalmatics or albs, for example, can be a great gift for an ordained or ordination deacon. If you want to buy a good gift for your husband, a friend, family member or acquaintance who is going to be ordained as a deacon, let us give you some advice:

  • Know the priorities of the deacon candidate

When choosing an ornament for a deacon we must take into account the preferences of the recipient. In other words, which garment do you like more or which one is going to give you more use.

  • Deacon Vestment Color

The colors of the vestments of Christian deacons have a strong symbolism. Catholic celebrations vary in color depending on the time of the Liturgical Year. For this reason it is important to know the date on which the act of diaconal ordination will take place. For example, if the ordination takes place during a Marian celebration, the colors blue, white or beige will be more appropriate.

It must also be taken into account if there is any type of directive by the Bishop who will officiate the sacramental act. On many occasions the Bishop ordains several candidates, both for permanent and transitory deacons, and it is important that there is agreement between the liturgical colors worn by the candidates.
