I may be in the minority here, but I think you can do fine with a 3 Willpower. Personally, I would bump that 4 over the the physical side (Strength seems like the obvious choice). Otherwise, there ability-wise that differentiates him/her from any other non-warrior priest. 

A lot of this depends on what kind of character you want. Is this a WARRIOR-priest or a warrior-PRIEST (really warrior-CASTER, since not all priests cast blessings). 

 

I would second that - my experience is that you just cant hit or damage anything with S3 … and

I believe you actually need to Train, not just Aquire Education to be able to read.

Also pretty sure you need to have Trained the skill before you specilize.

- No, just acquiring Education equates to literacy. No need to train it.  That is why it is an Advanced skill, not a Basic skill that everyone gets.

- Yes, you must be trained in a skill before you can gain a specialization in it

 

Regarding the OP:

Personally, my experience is that stats are the toughest to train up in-game. Money and equipment can be relatively easy to acquire, depending on the GM. Skills and actions cost 1xp for each (generally), and so are much cheaper and faster to gain. I therefore personally think that spending the majority of creation points on stats is generally the 'optimal' way to go.

I also agree that it depends on how you want to play your priest. Definitely 3 minimum in every stat.  If you want to be a better fighter, then I'd suggest ST or TO (or both if you can afford it) up to 4. If you want to cast blessings, WP to 4, and if you want to be social, FEL to 4.
