The Knights of Columbus Temecula Valley Council was formed in December of 1988 when St. Catherine of Alexandria Parish was still located in Old Town Temecula, at the current location of Temecula Stage Stop Bus Station. Many of the council brothers participated in the move of St. Catherine Church to its present location.
The council formation was prior to the establishment of St. Martha Parish in Murrieta; so many of our original brothers resided in Murrieta and our first meeting place was the club house at Murrieta Hot Springs. Later, the council met at the former Rancho Water District building along Diaz Road until the completion of DiLeo Hall in 1991 when the council started meeting in the library room at St. Catherine Parish.
Council 9964 is one of over 12,000 councils of the Knights of Columbus Order throughout the world with total assets of over $9.2 billion. We help contribute to the more than 1.7 million brothers of the Order, over 60 million man hours of volunteer service, and charitable contributions of more than $125 million.
Council 9964 normally meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. for dinner in the back of DiLeo Hall at St. Catherine Catholic Church in Temecula. All Brother Knights, their families, and their guests are invited to come! Following dinner, the Worthy Lecturer will offer a special presentation, followed by a rosary prayer service. Padre Pio Assembly 2247 also meets for dinner on the second Thursday of each month at the Bank Restaurant in Old Town Temecula.
