---------------------
When can a deacon in the Catholic Church can wear a cassock and surplice?
-
Choir Dress:
When a deacon is not actively participating in the liturgical actions of the Mass (e.g., not reading the Gospel or assisting with the distribution of Communion), they may wear a cassock and surplice as choir dress. This is similar to how priests might wear choir dress (cassock and surplice) at a Mass they are attending but not celebrating.
-
Master of Ceremonies:
A deacon serving as the Master of Ceremonies during a Mass may wear a cassock and surplice as part of their vesture.
-
Other Liturgical Functions:
Deacons may choose to wear a cassock and surplice when assisting at other liturgical functions where a dalmatic is not required or appropriate.
-
Optional Attire:
For some occasions like weddings without a mass, baptisms, or graveside services, a cassock and surplice can be an optional form of attire for a deacon. At those functions a deacon stole should be worn over the cassock and surplice. It should be noted that presently deacons officiating at weddings without a mass are preferred to wear a white dalmatic.
-
Clerical Attire:
Deacons can wear a cassock and surplice as a form of clerical attire for non-liturgical events where it is deemed appropriate. This could include public appearances or ministry work where the deacon wishes to be visibly identified as a cleric. Please check with your pastor or diocese diaconate office for guidance and approval.
-
Distinction from Priest's Vestments:
While a deacon's dalmatic can resemble a priest's chasuble, the dalmatic is the distinctive vestment for a deacon at Mass.
-
Local Customs:
The specific occasions when a cassock and surplice are worn by deacons may vary based on local customs and diocesan guidelines. Please check with your pastor or diocese diaconate office for guidance.
