Scaffolding has been erected around the tower of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple, providing crews with access to the structure as exterior finishing work continues. Nearby, the temple spire is taking shape on a staging pad, where it is being assembled and finished before being lifted into place atop the tower. Across the main structure, installation of the water-resistive barrier and exterior stone cladding continues to advance.

Construction of the Londrina Brazil Temple is in the final stages. Scaffolding has been removed from the steeple, and the exterior lighting system is operating, accentuating the temple’s architectural design in the evenings. Landscaping has also been installed throughout the grounds, including the lawns, flowerbeds, and hardscape elements. With the exterior work substantially complete, crews are focused on the final details.

The grounds surrounding the Salt Lake Temple reopened to pedestrians last week, offering new opportunities to view the historic temple and its recently completed entrance buildings up close. The temple is being prepared for a six-month open house and celebration beginning April 5, 2027, marking a remarkable return to history. On April 5, 1893, exactly 134 years earlier, the temple opened its doors to visitors on the day before its dedication. Interest in next year’s open house has already been extraordinary, with one million reservations made on the first day the reservation system opened. Details on upcoming ticket releases will be shared at TempleSquare.org.

Construction of the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple is focused on interior finishes and landscaping, with crews establishing trees, lawns, shrubs, and other plantings throughout the grounds. The two-story temple will have approximately 18,449 square feet (1,714 square meters) of floor space. An adjoining ancillary building will provide an arrival center, patron housing, and a distribution center. Once completed, the temple will be the seventh dedicated temple in the Philippines.
