Jim Smyth

The St. Albert family is sad to see the loss of Jim Smyth who passed away over the weekend.  All 6 of Jim & Eileen's children were graduates of St. Albert, ranging from 1976-1989.  Eileen also worked in the St. Albert office for many years before retiring in the mid-90's.  Jim & Eileen were faithful Holy Family parishioners.  Please say a special prayer today for the Smyth family and please pray for the repose of Jim's soul...

Eternal rest grant unto Jim o' Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May Jim rest in peace. Amen

May Jim's soul and the soul's of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen
