HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

LATEST NEWS & EVENTS
Stained Glass Installed in the Ephraim Utah Temple Tower
Backlighting inside the west tower of the Ephraim Utah Temple illuminates the beautiful geometric shapes and floral details in the stained-glass windows. Over the coming months, more stained glass will be installed in the temple, and stone cladding of the exterior walls will continue. During the cold weather, work will be more focused on the interior, and then landscaping will take off in the spring and summer.
Ancillary Building Roofed at the Querétaro Mexico Temple Site
Reinforced concrete walls are growing taller for the two-story Querétaro Mexico Temple. A tower crane stands at the southeast corner of the temple to lift the concrete forms and bundles of steel that are used to form the building's load-bearing structure. At the rear of the property, the roof deck has been completed for the ancillary building, and portions of the parking areas have been defined.
Tower Crane Installed at the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple Site
Construction activity has been underway at the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple site since the groundbreaking event was held at the end of August. Massive retaining walls are being installed at the rear of the property, and excavation for the foundation has been carried out. A safety fence has been erected around the excavation pit, and a tower crane has been installed to facilitate the upcoming framing and construction.
