Depends. There's a Dominican seminary in the Bay Area and so far
as I can figure out, all the young priests-in-training get made
deacons before they are made priests. (Then they get sent out to
practice-preach at St. Mary Magdalene's, with their little
baldrics on.) Incidentally, there are several other minor orders
before the diaconate, only I forget what they are except for
porter.
