The Brigham City Utah Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brigham City, Utah. The announcement was made by President Thomas S. Monson on October 3, 2009, during the church's semi-annual General Conference.[3] The temple was announced concurrently with the Concepción Chile Temple, the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple, the Fortaleza Brazil Temple and the Sapporo Japan Temple; together, they bring the total number of temples worldwide to 166 (including those under construction and announced). It will be the fourteenth temple in Utah.
The temple will be located on the property where the Central Elementary School once stood at 250 South Main Street in Brigham City, across from the historic tabernacle.[4]
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 31, 2010 and was conducted by Elder Boyd K. Packer.[5]
On the morning of June 28, 2011, the western spire was installed. The angel Moroni statue was installed on the eastern tower on July 12, 2011. The installation was delayed for almost two hours due to weather problems.[citation needed]
The temple open house has been announced for Saturday, 18 August 2012 until Saturday, 15 September 2012, excluding Sundays and Saturday, 8 September. The temple was formally dedicated on Sunday, 23 September 2012, in three sessions. The dedicatory sessions were broadcast to congregations of the Church within the temple district. In conjunction with the dedication of the temple, there will be a cultural celebration featuring music and dance on Saturday, 22 September 2012. [6]
