In an eco-conscious gesture aligned with World Environment Day, the Médiathèque de Monaco will donate a selection of its furniture to Monaco-based associations before its upcoming relocation to the Ilot Pasteur site. 

As part of its transition to the new Ilot Pasteur premises, the Médiathèque de Monaco is offering an exclusive opportunity for Monegasque associations to acquire furniture no longer needed by the institution. This special donation campaign, taking place from 2nd to 13th June, features a wide array of furnishings, all listed with descriptions, dimensions and photographs on the Monaco Town Hall’s website.

Associations wishing to reserve furniture must contact the Médiathèque during the stated period either by phone at +377 93 15 29 40 or by email at mediatheque@mairie.mc. Collection of the reserved items will begin from late September to mid-October 2025, and associations will be responsible for organising transport.

The sustainability-focused initiative is part of the commitment of the Commune to the principles of circular economy.

The Orthodox community of Monaco is preparing to mark a special milestone this June with the eighth anniversary celebration of St. Elena’s Parish Orthodox Church of Monaco.

On Saturday 7th June, the Parish Council of St. Elena will host its annual celebration beginning with a Divine Liturgy at 10am at St. Paul’s Church, located on Avenue de Grande-Bretagne. The liturgy will welcome clergy from the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), Romanian Orthodox Church (RomOC), and Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC), highlighting the spirit of the occasion.

Following the religious service, guests will be invited to gather for a festive cocktail and luncheon at the elegant Pulcinella restaurant on Rue du Portier. This convivial moment promises to bring together parishioners and friends in a setting of warmth, faith, and community.

Seats for the luncheon are available by donation, starting from €100 for adults and €50 for children. Attendees are asked to make reservations in advance via bank transfer to the Eglise Orthodoxe de Monaco.

The event is organised with the fraternal support of St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Monte-Carlo, underscoring the close ties between Monaco’s religious communities.
