I believe the answer is:

father

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'priest' is the definition.
(father is the title for a priest)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for father that I've seen before include "Sire" , "Raft he made for a relative" , "and 13: Jolly gift-deliverer" , "Relative and priest" , "dad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
