We recently needed to have a Sunday Communion Service done by our deacon. Is it appropriate/allowed to process in with cross, candles, Book of the Gospel? Does anyone have anything official written in this regard?

The ritual book Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest provides the norms for such services. Your diocese may also have established norms which are to be followed within the diocese.
