Temple Announcement
On April 6, 2025, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Rivera Uruguay Temple at the 195th Annual General Conference. It is the second house of the Lord to be constructed in the country, joining the Montevideo Uruguay Temple. The temple in Montevideo was dedicated in March 2001 by President Gordon B. Hinckley. Rivera is the capital of Rivera Department of Uruguay. It borders the Brazilian city of Santana do Livramento. Together, they form an urban area with about 200,000 residents. There are about nearly 110,000 Latter-day Saints in around 130 congregations in Uruguay.1
