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.
