A pastor in the Catholic Church means a priest who is in charge of a particular parish. Any other priests assigned to that parish would be assistants (the old word was curate). There is no set age for a priest to be assigned as a pastor of a Church. A man must be 25 to be ordained to the priesthood, so the minimum age would be 25, although even dioceses with an extreme shortage of priests would have most men be assistants for at least two years before assigning them as a pastor. In the old days, when there were a lot of priests, often you would make your silver jubilee (25 years as a priest) and still be an assistant.
