All ordained Catholic priests are reverends (Rev.) So are deacons (who may also preach) and bishops (Most Rev.)

A monsignor (Very Rev.) is a priest that has received a special recognition(s) from the Church.

“Pastor” is a position held by many priests who sre in charge of a community of the faithful.

Monsignori no longer go by Right Reverend or Very Reverend. The title they use before their name is Rev. Monsignor.

Pastors are to be distinguished from Pastoral Administrator, which is a priest who is given temproary charge of a parish.

Reverend is the formal way of addressing a priest, usually used when addressing him formally in writing: Rev. Joe Smith. (As previously mentioned, the title Reverend is slightly different when referring to a deacon (Rev. Mr. John Doe) or a bishop (Most Rev. Tom Brown).

A pastor is simply the head priest at a parish. Even if your parish has only one priest, he is the pastor of the parish.

Monsignor is an honorary title given to a priest (given by the Pope at the request of the bishop), for example in honor of the priest’s exemplary contributions to the diocese.

I actually know a priest who would rather be called Pastor than Father.

Keep in mind that “Reverend” is an ADJECTIVE, not a title. Much less is it a noun.

Such forms as “Rev. Surname” are actually solecisms. If not used with the full name, then the adjective is used before a title: “Rev. Fr. Brown”, “Rev. Mr. Brown (this is correct!)”, “Rev. Dr. Brown.”

Pastors are to be distinguished from Pastoral Administrator, which is a priest who is given temproary charge of a parish.

An administrator’s charge may not be temporary. Most often a priest who is in formation to become a pastor first becomes an administrator of the parish. In some cases where a priest does not have full control (over the finances for example) they may remain as administrators.

Using your nomenclature it would be “Rev. Fr.” for the priest.
