The annual Discussion Series supported by St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, Freehold, has been enjoying its sixth year of bringing educational and transformational presentations to the public.

The next talk, which will be held virtually March 23, will focus on social isolation, new technologies and how to combat loneliness during the global pandemic. 

The 2021 Discussion Series – which began in January with the theme “A Year of Hope” – is sponsored by parishioner Kathy Lo Bue and Glen Eagle Advisors, Freehold, a faith and family investment firm of which she is director.

The series features knowledgeable, experienced speakers on a number of subjects designed to guide participants through important life situations.

The January series focused on “A Shift in Perspective: Finding the Light in Your Struggles,” with speaker Lisa Luckett, an award-winning author, speaker, mother and 9/11 widow and breast cancer survivor.
