mook see (pronunciation) is a distinct term used specifically for the pastor of a church.
Familial terms can be used for people like uncles and aunties but these terms do not extend to all.

Catholic priests are called 神父 "Shenfu" (Mandarin) or "Sunfu" (Cantonese), literally "God- father". For reference please go to http://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A5%9E%E7%88%B6; then click on English (on the left hand side) to see a (rough, not very precise) translation of the page. Another source is myself: Chinese is my native language and this is the word I use when addressing people who are Catholic priests.
