The magazine "Una Voce" (five issues a year) is a publication of 36 pages in color, without equivalent in the French-speaking world, on sacred music and art, Gregorian chant, liturgy, as well as religious history and news.
We have reached our 336th issue in April 2022! It is a colossal source of information that we are unable to exploit ourselves because it would be necessary to digitize the whole thing. An integrated search engine would allow us to satisfy any search immediately. Access to this invaluable database has long been demanded of us by many of our members and readers.
This is why we are launching an appeal to raise these funds, the amount of which is estimated below.
We thank you in advance for any contribution, however modest !
