The Council

THE COUNCIL

The FATHER MAGUIRE COUNCIL was chartered on May 10, 1954 to serve the parishes of Saint Christopher in West Covina, CA and Sacred Heart in Covina, CA. Click here to learn more about our namesake, Father William A. Maguire.

Our council is located on the border of our two cities, Covina and West Covina, approximately 18-20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles along Interstate 10. The population of Covina is around 40,000 while West Covina boasts a population of over 100,000. We are also a member of the West Covina Chamber of Commerce.

We are part of the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the Knights of Columbus, located within District 79 of the California State Council. Our council is the seventh largest council in California (over 550 statewide) with a total membership of 365-plus members. Our council's Fourth Degree members belong to the Christopher Columbus Assembly.

We proudly occupy one of the largest council facilities in California which includes a large hall that can seat 300 people, a council meeting room, additional office and storage space, a lounge/bar that can seat 80-100, and a large backyard where we hold family picnics. The picnic area features a playground area for our children, volleyball court, bocci court, horseshoe pits, large built-in gas BBQ and plenty of shade for our California summer events. Stop by for our annual picnics on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
