In English, nouns don't have gender. The word "priest", however, refers to a male in a religious order (specifically Catholicism, in a modern / real-world sense). You might also encounter the word "priest" in fiction or archaic texts, such as "the priests of Baal" mentioned in the book of 1 Kings. The closest female equivalent of a priest in modern Catholicism is a nun, the difference, aside from sex, being that nuns are not allowed to conduct masses in the Catholic Church. Another equivalent of priest in a non-Catholic sense is "priestess".
