The correct way of addressing a Catholic priest is The Reverend John Smith, J.C.D. (the initials for his doctorate are OPTIONAL) on the envelope. The head of the letter would be Dear Father or Dear Father Smith, and in conversation, Father or Father Smith (if there are more than one around). You do not normally acknowledge a priest's degrees in addressing him, unless there is a reason, like in a footnote, then The Reverend John Smith, J.C.D.

The Reverend (first name) and Mrs. (first name) SurnameNote that the title "The Reverend" takes the first name not the surname. Thus, if John Smith is ordained his correct title is not "The Reverend Smith" but "The Reverend John Smith".
