Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., vice
president of Georgetown University.
Many of Msgr. Smyth's friends in
the diocese, laymen and clerics, will
attend the mass. The Rev. Edward
Aloysius Duff, former chief of chap
lains of the United States Navy, and
one of the chaplains who accom
panied the Unknown Soldier back
from France, will head the delega
tion of clergymen expected from
many parts of Maryland, as well as
Washington. After the mass a pro
cession of school children will honor
the pastor. At the conclusion of this
ceremony a formal dinner will be
served in the rectory to the visiting
clergymen with Msgr. Smyth as
host.
Ordained in 1898.
Msgr. Smyth, a native of Balti
more, was ordained to the priest
hood June 14, 1898, by the late
James Cardinal Gibbons, who also
baptized the prelate. First assigned
to St. Thomas Church in Baltimore,
the young priest served three years
in ms native city Deiore he was
transferred to St. Stephen’s Church
here. Nine years later, In 1910, he
was made pastor of St. Anne’s
Church, Tenleytown.
While at St. Ann’s, then a small
parish in the suburbs, Msgr. Smyth
organized the now prosperous par
ish of the Blessed Sacrament as a
mere mission. He celebrated the
first mass in Chevy Chase 28 years
ago in a small wooden structure that
served during weekdays as the vil
lage library.
From only 100 families Msgr.
Smyth has seen the Blessed Sacra
ment parish glow to the proportions
of a metropolitan church population.
The parish today contains 1,100
families, with an estimated list of
3.500 communicants, one of the
largest congregations in the city.
Dinner Planned Tuesday.
In a quarter of a century Msgr.
Smyth has superintended the build
ing of a church property valued at
close to $1,000,000. On the site, just
off Chevy Chase Circle, is a church
built of Maryland field stone, a hugi
parochial school, a convent and i
rectory. Plans are now under wa'
for'a gymnasium. To this end i
purse will be given Msgr. Smytl
Tuesday night, when the entire con
gregation tenders him a testimonia
dinner and reception at the May
flower Hotel in honor of his eleva
tion to tjje monsignori.
Because of the huge congrega
tion expected to attend the solemi
high mass tomorrow at noon, extn
chairs have been placed at vantage
points in the church. There will bi
no reserved seats.
