About the Council

The Light of Christ Council is headquartered at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. The Council was chartered in June 1984 and will be celebrating its 25^th Anniversary during the current fraternal year.

Council 8726 has been designated as a “Star Council” in four of the last six years. This designation is in recognition of the council’s successful membership recruiting efforts, extensive charitable activities, and insurance sales achievements. Only about 10% of all councils throughout the world achieve Star Council status.

Council meetings are held on the 2^nd and the 4^th Mondays of each month at 7:30pm. The majority of the meetings are held in the meeting rooms at the Parish Education Center on St. Alban’s Drive. Consult the calendar of events for special locations or scheduling changes. Council meetings are restricted to members only.
