Elder Alan T. Phillips, a General Authority Seventy and member of the United States Northeast Area Presidency, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cincinnati Ohio Temple on Saturday, November 7, 2026. "We honor those who have gone before us: the early Saints of Ohio, who sacrificed so much, and the faithful members of these stakes, who have traveled many miles to worship," said Elder Phillips. "They have laid a foundation of faith upon which we now build."

Work is advancing on the basement level of the Heber Valley Utah Temple, where the concrete walls are nearing completion. Moisture sealing is being applied to the exterior surfaces to protect the structure from water intrusion. Inside the basement, electrical conduits and plumbing pipes have been installed beneath the future floor slab, while additional gravel is delivered by conveyor boom, spread, and compacted to create a level base for the concrete pour.

Stone veneer panels are being installed across the exterior of the Birmingham England Temple, covering the bright orange sheathing boards. Extensive scaffolding surrounds the structure, providing crews with temporary platforms as installation progresses. The temple is being constructed as part of a redevelopment of the property, which was formerly occupied by the local mission offices. Construction began in March 2025.

Rising in West Lethbridge at a prominent bend in the Oldman River, the Lethbridge Alberta Temple continues to take shape as work progresses on the building's exterior and surrounding grounds. Crews are installing exterior stonework, while finishing work is being applied to the spire frame positioned on a nearby staging pad. Concrete planters have been established around the temple entrance as site development moves forward.
