Father was the proper form of address for a priest of the Catholic denomination of Christianity on Earth. The character of Mulligan within the Fair Haven holographic program, played by The Doctor, was addressed this way. (VOY: "Fair Haven", "Spirit Folk")

Father is also the title of a male who has parented a child. Alexander often called Worf "Father" (TNG: "Reunion", et al.) whereas Jake Sisko referred to his father Commander Benjamin Sisko by the more informal "Dad." (DS9: "Emissary", "Move Along Home", et al.) During his lifetime, Captain Kathryn Janeway referred to her father Vice Admiral Janeway as "Daddy." (VOY: "Coda")

When Jake Sisko told Varis Sul about his father, Nog tried to compare his father, Rom, to Jake's. Both were more silent when Varis Sul told them that her parents were killed by the Cardassians. (DS9: "The Storyteller")
