Manresa Council was instituted in Azusa, May 11, 1952 by
District Deputy Joseph Drew. It came into being because of the need of a
Catholic men's organization in a predominately non-Catholic city. The
council took its name from the retreat house, which was situated in Azusa.
This retreat house is no longer in existence.
