  I assume this means on the envelope and not as a heading in a letter, right?

  
  

  Diocesan priest: The Reverend

  Priests who are members of religious orders: The Reverend Father

  Priests with various grades of jurisdiction above pastor: The Very Reverend

  Priests who are abbots of monasteries: The Right Reverend

  
  

  I'm not too sure about deacons but I assume it's Reverend Mr. if he's a deacon on his way to be a priest or just Deacon if he's a permanent deacon.  But check on that.

  
  

  Transitional deacon: Reverend Mr.

  Deacon: Deacon
