Tobin Brothers St Albans - Celebrating our Local Community
Tobin Brothers St Albans proudly support community events, churches and community groups in our local area. Through sponsorships and events we strengthen our community ties and remain an active part of our community in St Albans and surrounding suburbs.
Brimbank Central Rotary Club
Tobin Brothers Funerals Branch Manager, Lou Gionfriddo, is a past president of the Brimbank Central Rotary Club which has enabled Lou to participate in many and varied community activities, such as local art shows with schools in Brimbank. Tobin Brothers Funerals are wonderful supporters of Rotary and the ideals it stands for. The Rotary Club gives people an opportunity to achieve things that they might not get to try without such support.
Resurrection Parish Kings Park
Tobin Brothers Funerals as a whole offers a number of programs to families that have experienced a death of a loved one. Tobin Brothers St Albans are supporting a six week course for care givers with Resurrection Parish Kings Park, participants will be given excellent tools that they will be able to use as care givers. The monthly Loss and Grief group also meet at the parish and this has been an ongoing gathering for four years or so.
The Beacon Foundation
Tobin Brothers St Albans, Branch Manager, Lou Gionfriddo also supports the Beacon Foundation with St Albans Secondary College. The Beacon Foundation works with year ten students to give them opportunities such as work experience, speed careering days and other activities designed to encourage young people to go on to do further studies after secondary school. Tobin Brothers has been represented to this community through a number of programs that are run by The Beacon Foundation at St Albans Secondary College and have been supporting The Beacon Foundation for many years.
All Souls Day Masses
Tobin Brothers St Albans proudly sponsor the All Souls Day Mass at Keilor Cemetery, and Branch Manager, Lou Gionfriddo has been involved with the event since it's inception in 1994. Tobin Brothers are proud to be involved in the continuation of these services which enable people to come along and pray for their loved ones, to remember and to commemorate their lives, each November.
St Patricks Junior Football Club
Tobin Brothers St Albans sponsor St Patricks Junior Football Club and donate trophies which are presented by Lou Gionfriddo at their awards night.
Victoria University
Each year, Tobin Brothers St Albans host a seminar for student nurses from Victoria University. Branch manager, Lou Gionfriddo and Tobin Brothers Community Education Manager, Samantha Rennie conduct a seminar detailing what happens to the deceased once they are transferred into our care. The students are also given valuable information on grief and how to guide families in their time of need, the importance of a funeral and celebrating the life of a loved one and how Tobin Brothers plan a funeral to suit the needs of the family. This programme started a number of years ago and has been well recognised by Victoria University. It is now part of their curriculum for junior nurses.
