The groundbreaking ceremony for the Maceió Brazil Temple will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Elder B. Corey Cuvelier of the Brazil Area Presidency will preside at the event. The temple site is located on Avenida Durval de Góes Monteiro in the Jardim Petropolis neighborhood of Maceió. There are currently 11 dedicated temples in Brazil and 5 under construction. Plans have been announced for 7 more temples, including the temple in Maceió.

The tower of the new Anchorage Alaska Temple has begun to emerge from beneath its protective enclosure. Crews have opened the tenting at the top, revealing the completed roof while maintaining weather protection around the lower portions where scaffolds are still erected. The original temple, seen in the background, will continue to operate through the construction of the replacement temple. Afterward, it will be razed to accommodate the construction of a new meetinghouse.

The latest photograph of the Tarawa Kiribati Temple shows the interconnected modules assembled on the foundation with windows installed in the framed openings. While the overall appearance of the temple has changed little in recent months, crews continue to make gradual progress as they prepare for the next phase of construction. Church members living on this remote Pacific atoll will be greatly blessed by the presence of the temple.

The majority of the construction barrier separating Main Street Plaza from the east side of the Salt Lake Temple has been removed, revealing the temple's elegant permanent ornamental fencing and lantern-topped posts. Demolition of the former Plaza Hotel is nearing completion, while restoration work continues on the historic Beehive House and Lion House. A six-month public open house, known as the Salt Lake Temple Celebration, is scheduled to run daily from April 5 through October 1, 2027, welcoming visitors from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
