Fr. William Smith

Fr. Smith was a long time friend of the family and was a missionary in the Philippines for the time I knew of him.  We have a good number of pictures of him from his early assignments in Los Angeles as well as photos of him shipping out in the 50's for the Philippines.

(From the Columban Fathers)

FR. WILLIAM J. SMITH was born at Providence, Rhode Island, USA in 1915 and died there on August 17, 1974. When he completed his studies at St. Columban’s, Nebraska, Fr. Bill was ordained priest in 1941.  He worked in Los Angeles and in 1945 he was appointed bursar and

Vice-Rector at St. Columban’s College, Milton.  Assigned to the Philippines in 1950, he suffered a stroke in 1960 but continued on mission in Mindanao. He returned to the U.S. in 1974 for surgery.  Fr. Bill is buried at East Providence, Rhode Island.
