Chastity includes not molesting boys (or girls, or sheep). All Christians are required to practice the virtue of chastity, not just priests.

Celibacy is specifically the state of being unmarried.

Celibacy is specifically the state of being unmarried.

With regard to the Sacrament of Holy Orders, the promise of celibacy and vow of chastity are synonymous.
