ST.
CHARLES BORROMEO HONORS CARDINAL
ROGER MAHONEY
Parish
Celebration: Sunday, May 6, at 10
am Reception Following Mass in
St. Charles Social Center
Cardinal Roger Mahony was
ordained a priest fifty years ago
on May 1, 1962.
Since
that time he has faithfully
served the Church in a variety of
ministries. We have been blessed
in Los Angeles to have had his
pastoral leadership for over
twenty-five years. St. Charles
Borromeo Parish, and a succession
of pastors and parishioners, have
prayerfully supported the
Cardinal, who grew up in St.
Charles Borromeo Parish
Community. We are grateful to
have him among us in his "senior
years." During his years as
Archbishop of Los Angeles, the
Cardinal made many significant
leadership contributions to the
life of the Church. Among those
are his clear voice on issues
involving the rights of
immigrants to this country, his
ongoing support of the Cardinal
Manning House of Prayer For
Priests, the Archdiocesan
Seminaries, "TOGETHER IN
MISSION," The Catholic
Educational Foundation and the
Annual Cardinal's Awards Dinner.
Each of these efforts have
blessed our local church over and
over again, and will continue to
do so in the future. Our
magnificent Cathedral complex,
dedicated to Our Lady of the
Angels, was completed in 2002.
The Cardinal worked so hard to
bring that vision into reality.
Our Cathedral is the heart of our
beautiful City of the Angels, and
the focal point of the renovation
of the downtown area. Our
prayerful good wishes to you,
Your Eminence, as you celebrate
fifty years of priestly service.

SERVICE.
Cardinal
Mahony Celebrates 50 Years of
Priestly Life. •••• The
Parish Community of St. Charles
Borromeo joined in honoring
Cardinal Roger Mahony in a
celebration of Thanksgiving
marking his Fiftieth Anniversary
of Ordination to the Priesthood,
which was May 1, 1962.
••••
St. Charles also has long
ties with Cardinal Roger Mahony.
His parents were married at the
original church on Weddington
Street, and he went to St.
Charles Borromeo grammar school,
graduating in 1950, When the
Cardinal's mother, Loretta Mahony
died in 1995, Mahony celebrated
her funeral Mass at St. Charles
Borromeo. Mahony also celebrated
the parish's 75 anniversary Mass
in 1996, attended the 50th
reunion of the eighth-grade class
of 1950, in 2000.
••••
Sister Jean Dolores, who
taught the Cardinal, attended the
reunion, recalling that in those
days, she taught 75 eighth
graders in one class. The school
had 900 students in the years
following World War II, making it
the largerst parochial school
west of the Mississippi. Mahony
recalled Sister Jean Dolores as a
strict disciplinarian and as a
mentor. She came to Fresno when
Mahony was appointed a bishop in
1975 and was in Los Angeles in
1985 when he was named
archbishop. She also traveled to
Rome to be with Mahony when he
became a cardinal. Sister Jean
Dolores described the parish as
"like a ripple in a pond" -- "It
just keeps going and going.
That's what life is all
about."
••••
Mahoney also officiated
the funeral mass for Toluca Lake
resident, Bob Hope in 2003.
••••
Although born in Los
Angeles, the Archbishop was
attracted to ministry in the
Fresno area and was ordained a
priest for the Diocese of Fresno
in St. John's Cathedral by Bishop
Aloysius J. Willinger, CSsR. He
received a Degree in Social Work
and was very involved in Catholic
Charities in the Fresno Church.
Archbishop Mahony is one of three
sons of Victor and Loretta Baron
Mahony. He, and his twin brother
Louis, received his First
Communion, were Confirmed, and
graduated from St. Charles
Borromeo School in 1950.
•••• On
March 19, 1975, Msgr. Mahony was
ordained Auxiliary Bishop of
Fresno by Bishop Hugh Donohue. He
was installed as the Third Bishop
of Stockton, California, in 1980
and was appointed the Fourth
Archbishop of Los Angeles on July
16, 1985. Archbishop Mahony was
Installed in St. Vibiana's
Cathedral on September 5, 1985,
and spent over twenty-five years
as our Archbishop here in Los
Angeles. Archbishop Mahony was
appointed to the College of
Cardinals by Pope John Paul II in
May of 1991, and he was elevated
to the College of Cardinals on
June 28th and 29th of the same
year.
••••
The Cardinal will be
remembered as a faithful shepherd
and for his far-sighted
leadership style that encouraged
the positive growth of the Church
here in Southern California.
There are many wonderful
highlights from his years here in
Los Angeles. Most will recall the
Visit of the Holy Father Pope
John Paul II in 1987 and the
magnificent reception he received
from the people of Los Angeles in
a number of different venues. The
striking Cathedral of Our Lady of
the Angels, completed in 2002, is
another magnificent highlight of
his years of service to the
people of God. The Catholic
Education Foundation, the
Cardinal Manning House of Prayer
for Priests, "Together in
Mission," and the annual
Cardinal's Awards Dinner are all
associated with the Leader- ship
of Cardinal Mahony.
••••
The Cardinal continues a
very busy life with other
responsibilities, and we are
honored to have him living among
us at St. Charles Borromeo, his
home parish. He often joins us
for morning liturgy, is a part of
our parish family, and is loved
and respected by his brother
priests. We wish him many happy
and healthy years as he
celebrates this special time in
his ministry as a priest.
History
of St. Charles Borromeo
(Insert
Picture of St.
charles)
St.
Charles Borromeo Church is a
Catholic church and elementary
school
located at Moorpark and
Lankershim in North Hollywood,
Los Angeles, California, which
also has long ties with Cardinal
Roger Mahony. It is one of the
oldest parishes in the San
Fernando Valley dating back to
1921. It has long been a parish
with celebrity members and many
celebrities that have lived in
the Toluca Lake, North Hollywood,
and Studio City communities
served by St. Charles
Borromeo.
St.
Charles Borromeo served a wide
swath of the San Fernando Valley
for many years, but with the
population growth in the Valley,
additional parishes were carved
out of the territy previously
encompassed by St. Charles
Borromeo. Modern parishes that
were carved out of St. Charles
Borromeo include Our Lady of the
Holy Rosary in Sun Valley (1937),
St. Francis de Sales in Sherman
Oaks (1938), St. Finbar in
Burbank (1938) and St. Patrick in
North Hollywood
(1948).
•
1921
-The
parish was founded in
1921, and it elected to
purchase an existing Methodist
church structure on the corner of
Weddington and Bakman and
petitioned the Chancery for a
resident pastor. In 1921 Reverend
Anselme Bois was appointed pastor
and the parish was named
Immaculate Conception
until 1925,
when it was renamed Saint Charles
Borromeo. Before the parish was
established, Catholics in the
central San Fernando Valley
shared a priest with St. Robert
Bellarmine (then known as Holy
Trinity ). Originally Mass
was celebrated in the Mulhall
family home by Father Ernest
Leguyader. ••••
Following Father Bois was
Father Leo Murphy as pastor. Four
years later, during the pastorate
of Father Emmet Panner the name
was changed to what we know today
as Saint Charles Borromeo, and
the church was enlarged to
accommodate 250 worshipers.
•
1925
-The
parish known as Immaculate
Conception was renamed Saint
Charles Borromeo.
•
1927 - In 1927 Father
Edward Riodan came for two years
followed by Father Michael
Lalor.
•
1936 -
By
1936, the parish had outgrown the
space on Weddington, and a
parishioner named Goykes donated
land on Moorpark.
•
1936 - In 1936,
Reverend Harry C. Meade was
appointed pastor of Saint
Charles. Realizing immediately
the property on Bakman and
Weddington was not large enough
to accommodate a full parish
plant, he purchased seven 50-foot
by 150-foot lots on Moorpark
Street and accepted the donation
of the site for the Church (now
the Social Center) from the
Goykes family, parishioners of
Saint Charles.
1936
-The
Rev. Msgr. Harry C. Meade was the
pastor at St. Charles Borromeo
for more than a quarter century
starting in 1936.
A
New Structure
(Insert
Picture)
•
1937 -
A
new church was built on Moorpark
in 1937-- the structure that is
now the parish hall. The church
had a seating capacity of 600 and
was styled after the San Carlos
Mission in Carmel,
California.
The new $50,000 church was
designed by Lawrence Viole, a
specialist in Spanish
architecture. It had a seating
capacity of 600 and was
reminiscent of San Carlos Mission
in Carmel, burial place of Padre
Junipero Serra. The equipment was
modern and the oak altar was a
masterpiece of handicraft.
••••
The bell in the church
tower, brought from the original
church, was cast in Baltimore,
Maryland in 1897, and is now
permanently mounted in the
courtyard of the present
church.
•
1938 - The first Mass
was sung by Father Meade on July
17, 1938. The formal dedication
of the church was held on January
22, 1939, with archbishop John.
J. Cantwell as celebrant.
Assisting him on that occasion
was his secretary, the Reverend
Timothy Manning (who later become
Cardinal Archbishop of Los
Angeles). The rectory, in
matching Spanish style, was ready
for occupancy on January 1,
1939.
In 1939,
St. Charles Borromeo School
opened in four portable bungalows
and operated by five Sisters of
Charity of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. A new permanent school
opened in 1947 in a building with
14 classrooms, a cafeteria,
library, music room, and
auditorium.[1]
Mission
Church
•
1942 - To meet the
needs of the growing Hispanic
community at the northern margin
of the parish, Msgr. Meade
established the mission church of
Santa Susanna in 1942. The
mission church was closed and
sold in 1983 to vast
industrialization of the
area.
•
1947 - In September of
1947, classes were held for the
first time in a new solid
concrete school building which
had 14 classrooms, a cafeteria,
library, music room and
auditorium. The property across
the street, to be used for
additional parking and two
classrooms, was purchased in 1948
for $50,000. The small building
there is now used for group
meetings and home to the Service
Center.
St.
Charles Borromeo
Choir •
1949-
The
St. Charles Borromeo Choir has
enjoyed a long reputation as one
of Southern California's finest
parish choral groups. Prior to
1949, the choir director was
Roger Wagner who later formed the
Roger Wagner Chorale. In 1949,
Paul Salamunovich became director
of the choir.Volunteer singers
from Santa Barbara to San Pedro
drove to North Hollywood to sing
for Salamunovich as part of the
St. Charles
Choir.
•
•
The St. Charles Boys Choir under
Salamunovich appeared with Dinah
Shore on the "Chevy Show" and
also formed the Disneyland Boys
Choir, with which Salamunovich
recorded in 1965 the "It's a
Small World" album of folk songs
still sold at Disney theme parks.
Salamunovich also became the
leader of the Los Angeles Master
Chorale. Salamunovich also
conducted choirs for dozens
Hollywood films, including "Air
Force One", "My Best Friend's
Wedding," "First Knight,"
"Waterworld", "The Devil's
Advocate" and "xXx". Salamunovich
conducted the choir at the 10:00
a.m. Mass for 60 years before
retiring in June 2009.
The
Present Church
•
1952 - In 1952, the
property on which the present
church stands, was purchased for
$110,000. Exemplifying the
Spanish colonial style, the
Church conveys a spirit of
serenity and repose. Construction
was completed in 1959. The main
altar was consecrated by Bishop
Aldon J. Bell. On Thanksgiving
Day, parishioners, in solemn
procession, moved into the new
Saint Charles Borromeo
Church.
•

parish continued to grow in the
years after World War II, and in

Francis Cardinal
McIntyre.

for over 50 years, this parish
has been blessed with the musical
artistry of Paul Salamonovich as
Choir Director. His unique
dedication to promoting the
tradition of the finest of Sacred
Music in Catholic Liturgy has
brought him innumerable honors.
Following Msgr. Keane's
retirement in February 1984, he
was replaced by Msgr. Thomas
Kiefer. Msgr. Kiefer introduced
many different parish activates.
He started the annual Parish
Festival in 1985, Pancake
Breakfasts, the development of
the Service Center as well as the
weekly Friendship Sunday
tradition of coffee and donuts.
Msgr. Kiefer retired in 2000, and
to take the torch from him was
former associate pastor Father
Robert Gallagher. Father Bob
Gallagher has been a priest for
over 32 years and was assigned
here in January, 2000.
•
1973 - Msgr. Meade
retired in 1973 and continued to
live in the Parish as Pastor
Emeritus until his death on April
11, 1978.
•
1978 - Actually, at
one time, several parishes had
all or part of their territory
within the boundaries of Saint
Charles Parish. Our Lady of the
Holy Rosary in Sun Valley, Saint
Francis de Sales in Sherman Oaks,
Saint Finbar in Burbank, and
Saint Patrick in North Hollywood,
all grew out of Saint Charles
Borromeo. Msgr. Meade retired in
1973 and continued to live in the
Parish as Pastor Emeritus until
his death on April 11, 1978.
•
1983 - The Parish was
fortunate in the appointment of
Msgr. Kevin Keane as pastor, for
he had served her previously as
assistant for 12 years. He is
remembered for his spirituality
as he stressed opportunities for
retreats, an Adult and Children's
Religious Education program. It
was during his administration
that the magnificent Von Zoeren
organ was installed and dedicated
in a three day celebration,
culminating with a Mass of
Thanksgiving and Inaugural
Concert on Sunday, November 20,
1983. The instrument provides a
fitting accompaniment to the
internationally known Saint
Charles Choir.
•

•
2000 - Father Bob
Gallagher has been a priest for
over 32 years and was assigned
here in January, 2000.
•
2002
-Controversy in 2002 and 2003,
followed after well-known
consultant, Richard S. Vosko, was
brought in to speak to the
congregation about renovations to
the church's interior. Vosko's
renovations in Detroit, San
Antonio, and New Orleans had
spawned controversy, and a book
called "Ugly as Sin" had recently
been published criticizing
Vosko's work. Concerns over
modernization of St. Charles
Borromeo's interior space led to
the formation of the St. Charles
Borromeo Preservation Guild.
•
•
Guild supporters held protests
with dozens of protesters falling
to their knees outside the church
and reciting the rosary asking
the Virgin Mary to intercede to
prevent modernization. Among
other things, the protesters
sought to return the Blessed
Sacrament to the tabernacle
behind the altar and to preserve
the private confessionals, the
interior's "dark beauty,"
kneelers, the large, dramatic
wooden crucifix and the
baldacchino hanging above the
cross.
•
•
The traditional look and feel of
St. Charles had become a refuge
for traditional Catholics who
rejected the secular look of
modern Catholic churches. Pastor
Robert Gallagher responded to the
protests in a church bulletin,
claiming that most of the
protesters were not parishioners
and said it was insulting to
suggest that it was the
traditional trappings that
attracted parishioners. The
protests drew widespread media
attention, including two feature
articles in the Los Angeles Times
in April 2002 and June
2003.

Salamonovich retires in June as
