Dear CFA Members and Friends,

It is with heavy heart that we must inform you that our beloved Jeff Smith passed on to the next life this past Sunday after a battle with cancer. Founder and leader of the Catholic Finance Association, as well as many other apostolates, Jeff sought to serve others by bringing disparate people together in community for the common purpose of serving our Lord and others. More importantly, as an integral part of the Catholic community in NYC for more than two decades, he will be remembered as a faithful and warm-hearted friend.

Please join us in praying for Jeff’s family and for the repose of his soul.

Below you will find details for the Wake and the Funeral. Please let us know if you plan to attend the reception following the funeral (by clicking on the button below).

Pinstripe Mass for Business Professionals

Founded by the Catholic Finance Association, the annual Pinstripe Mass is held in collaboration with a dozen apostolates of various business leaders. It is another special opportunity to share in the Eucharist while coming together in support of what Pope Francis calls “the noble profession of commerce.” Planning is underway now.
