Dear friends, PAX.
I hope this finds you well as we approach the blessed feast of Christmas.
I would first like to apologize for my absence and lack of communication here, but I would also like to suggest an alternative offering for you.
As you are probably aware by now, as of Pentecost this year the GCA has merged with Floriani Sacred Music, founded by my old friend Giorgio Navarini (to learn more about him and the organization, check out my interview with him which I just posted on the GCA YouTube channel). Floriani is a 5 man ensemble dedicated to restoring and reviving true sacred music in the Church and is a 501c-3 non-profit organization. So, as of Pentecost, your contributions here have not been going to me directly and personally, but to the organization. But, because they are going through this 3rd party platform, you are unable to receive any tax deductions for those contributions. Furthermore, BMAC - like all other platforms - takes a certain percentage of your offerings. Therefore, if you would like to continue your support of the Academy and Floriani, I would suggest canceling your account here and register as a donor, for any amount, at www.floriani.org/donate where 100% of your offerings will be received by Floriani and will be tax deductible.
Again, my apologies for absence and lack of communication here. But from all of us at Floriani, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and would greatly appreciate your continued support of our mission by joining us at www.floriani.org/donate. God bless you all and have a very Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
Christopher Jasper
