Father Eamon J. Tobin

I never knew Fr. Tobin in life, but found comfort in his writing on grief work after the passing of my father. His community was blessed to have this thoughtful and beautiful soul as their spiritual guide and he continues to leave a lasting impact through his prolific writings. Thank you, Fr. Tobin.

My Father passed away in January, 1982 and though he was not raised Roman Catholic, my mother, who was a member of St Joseph's at the time had a mass said. And I out of honor for my father, even though, I often disagreed with the worldly aspects of Roman Catholicism, Father Tobin, just had to mention one point, that, one other died at 33 years old, and at that time my father passed, I also was 33 years old. And, As I reflect on the Dead in Christ, from 1st Kings. He, Who served in Hebron for...

Oh, Father Tobin was the best priest I have ever known! I went to a small group of women he put together at Church of our Savior, it was such a wonderful experience. Also was at his Silver Jubilee there in 1997 . Surly he is in Heaven but will definitely miss on earth! He was a tremendously blessing in my life! And know he will be missed by so many! Grateful for knowing him!

Fr. Tobin help me discover my Christianity in a time when I was so lost

FATHER TOBIN WAS A VERY KIND AND COMPASSIONATE MAN WHO HAD AN OUTSTANDING EFFECT ON MY LIFE.
WE WILL MISS HIM AT ASCENSION CATHOLIC CHURH IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA. HE WAS A VERY DEVOTED PASTOR TO ALL HIS PARISHONERS. REST IN PEACE FATHER WITH GOD, OUR BLESSED MOTHER AND ALLTHE ANGELS IN WHICH YOU SO DESERVE.

We will miss your uplifting homilies and genuine compassion. Remembering the days when you were also at Church of Our Saviour. Grateful you visited my Dad in the hospital before he passed. Rest in peace, you were a wonderful person! Lori, TK and David Stoms

Father Tobin was a big blessing in my life since I was a young child. He was there for me though out many hospital visits as a kid to helping me grow in my faith. From first Communion to Confirmation, this pastor was the one that over saw me through out this journey in my faith. I will never forget first reconciliation. It was open reconciliation and we had a choice of which pastor to go to. Father Tobin was the one I was like Oh boy... I have to tell him I back talked my parents?? You see,...

Father Tobin was an amazing soul. A gift to us all. Throughout the years, with all the good memories, he has always been a welcoming part of Ascension and years ago with Our Saviour. He helped me though the death of my son and throughout the years always gave me good guidance. For that, I will always remember him and keep him in my prayers. May he Rest In Peace in Heaven.
