HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"A temple is a place in which those whom He has chosen are endowed with power from on high—a power which enables us to use our gifts and capabilities—to bring to pass our Heavenly Father's purposes in our own lives and the lives of those we love."
—David B. Haight

Manhattan New York Temple Renovation Passes the Two-Year Mark

The progress of renovation work on the Manhattan New York Temple remains largely concealed behind extensive scaffolding, safety netting, and sidewalk sheds that surround the building. While little of the exterior work is visible from the street, construction activity is ongoing as the historic structure undergoes a comprehensive renovation and reconfiguration. Upon completion, the building will continue to accommodate both temple and meetinghouse functions, along with the addition of a small visitors’ center designed to welcome guests.

Cladding the Exterior Walls of the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple

Scaffolding and debris netting surround the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple as light-colored cladding panels are secured to the exterior surfaces of the building. Window openings remain covered, allowing interior construction to continue uninterrupted. Rising above the center of the structure, the nearly completed steeple has become a prominent and elegant feature of the project, distinguished by its tiered design and ornamental window grilles.

Legal Injunction Overturned for the New Temple in Buenos Aires

A legal injunction that temporarily halted the government authorization process for the Buenos Aires City Center Argentina Temple has been unanimously overturned. In November 2024, the local government passed a resolution that determined a land use designation of “place of worship” was feasible for the property. An opposition group seeking to preserve the heritage of the historic Church and Monastery of St. Catherine of Siena, located adjacent to the temple site, later filed a petition that resulted in the issuance of the injunction in December 2025. With the injunction overturned, the Church may now proceed with obtaining authorization and building permits from the city government.

Construction Advances on the Cali Colombia Temple

Steel framing components are staged across the grounds of the Cali Colombia Temple, supporting ongoing interior framing and construction activity within the building. On the exterior, crews are installing stone cladding panels featuring classical architectural moldings. Above the main structure, work has begun on sheathing the tower framework, a prominent feature of the temple skyline.
