In fact, most of the Catholic world addresses their parish priests as “Father” followed by the priest's first, baptismal, Christian name.
The salutation should be Dear Father. To be even more polite, refer to a priest as His Reverence. If it's a very formal letter, say, "The Reverend Father last name as the salutation or Dear Reverend Father."
Letters should begin with a proper title such as: Your Eminence: (for a Cardinal) Dear Archbishop (last name) or Bishop (last name) Dear Monsignor ( last name) Dear Father (last name) Use the first name for a religious order priest.
