There are a number of differences between a priest and pastor.
For instance, priests in the Catholic faith have to be unmarried men with tons of experience. Pastors can be married men with less experience in order to help shepherd the flock.
Priests also often act as worship leaders, peace-makers, high authorities in their church community who are responsible for education and social work too among other things such as solemnizing marriages. Whereas pastors deal with things at the local church level such as leading hymnal services, teaching Sunday school or bible study groups and preaching sermons on Sundays or during weekdays.
