On November 17 from 10 am to 5 pm, the Diocese of Monaco invites those who want to discover the Agora, the diocesan house, a new cultural venue offered to the Principality.
The day after the official inauguration, all will be present to discover the usefulness of such a house. Several animations and discoveries await the public throughout the day.

• The Youth Service with its praise group will also participate in the party at 3:30 pm, offering all those present, a small concert in the auditorium;
• Throughout the morning and part of the afternoon, an audio-visual montage on the giant screen of the auditorium will allow you to remember some important moments in the life of the diocese.
Located in the heart of the Principality, above the Boulevard Princesse Charlotte, the Agora was designed and built to accommodate the entire Diocese. She will have to become the family home of an outgoing Church that goes to the men and women of her time to announce the Gospel to them.
