Deacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.
With love in Christ.

Why in the past? They still have a function in the church today.
A deacon can do baptisms, marriages and funerals.
They are to assist the priest during Mass and of course can distribute Eucharist.

They help the priest with mass. They can do weddings, mass, pretty much everything but consecrate the host.
