At one time St Charles Borromeo was an ICON. Paul Salamunovich, KCSG was choirmaster and organist. I heard that things have changed, but you might want to check it out. North Hollywood, IIRC.
As a northern Californian I really don't officially recognize that there is a Los Angeles. OTOH, If California ended at Bakersfield......ummm.....I'd lose that solidarity with Californian friends like Chris Allen and MaryAnnCW. I do have an idea, find out where Fr. John Schiavone is assigned; I can't imagine a parish affiliated with him to not have an exceptional program. Maybe Paul Ford will pipe in. I would NOT go out of my way to hear Mass at the cathedral.
