When addressing simple priests, we just call them "πάτερ" (ancient Greek form of "father").

When addressing higher ranking priests, we say "σεβασμιώτατε", which means "very reverend".

"σεβασμιἐ" is wrong?
I have come across the phrase "σεβάσμιε πάτερ".  I guess you can call him "σεβάσμιε" too.  

From what I know, a plain "πάτερ" is the most common way to address a priest.
