Formally it would be "The Reverend John Smith" - but only in the third person. Note that the definite article is required, as are both first name and surname. If you are using the second person, for example when addressing him in speech or writing, the correct form of address is "Mr Smith".

Either may be appropriate. A Catholic Answer: Catholics customarily address Catholic priests as Father prefixed to his surname, or more familiarly Father prefixed to his given name. (Father Murray; Father Schaeffer; or Father Bob; Father Ted).
