  • This temple was rededicated in 2023 by President Jeffrey R. Holland, who grew up in St. George.

Adelaide Australia Temple

  • Children who attended a nearby school helped during the temple groundbreaking ceremony.

  • This was the second temple built in Australia.

  • Before this temple was built, members in Adelaide had to travel 15–20 hours to the Sydney Australia Temple.

Recife Brazil Temple

  • The temple grounds have mango trees and 200-year-old palm trees!

  • This is the second temple built in Brazil.

  • To prevent flooding, builders put over 1,000 columns into the ground to give the temple a strong foundation.
