Steeple Cladding in Place at the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple

The exterior cladding panels and ornamental grilles for the beautiful steeple of the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple have been installed. There is presently one dedicated temple in Taiwan, located in the capital city of Taipei. It was dedicated by President Gordon B. Hinckley in November 1984, and it currently serves Church members from 16 stakes. The temple in Kaohsiung will be the second temple dedicated on the East Asian island.

Through the Picture Windows of the Nauvoo Temple Visitors’ Center

The 13,200-square-foot facility is expected to be completed during the second half of 2026. In addition to views of the temple, the visitors' center will feature exhibits on the original temple, a Tiffany stained-glass window of Jesus Christ, a children's area, and a theater.

Church Headquarters Announces Temporary Closure of Conference Center

The Conference Center will be closed to the public from March 30, 2026, through March 1, 2027, except for general conference and other major scheduled events such as Luz de las Naciones and the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. The purpose of the closure is "to facilitate critical construction, infrastructure upgrades and exhibit development in preparation for the Salt Lake Temple Celebration," an official memo stated. "This operational pause is essential to allow project teams to execute a significantly expanded scope of work and ensure the facility is fully prepared to support the elevated guest experience planned for 2027."
