Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple
Ciudad Juárez, Mexico
The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. It was announced in a letter to local church leaders on May 7, 1998, by First Presidency, and is the church's 71st operating temple. Built on a 1.63-acre site two miles south of the U.S.–Mexico border, the 10,700-square-foot, single-story structure has a white marble veneer, and a central spire with an angel Moroni statue on its top. Construction began with a groundbreaking on January 9, 1999. After construction was completed, a public open house was held from February 12 to 19, 2000, more than 25,000 visitors touring the building. The temple was dedicated by church president Gordon B. Hinckley during meetings held on February 26 and 27, 2000. Its design comes from the church’s late-1990s program for building smaller temples. It serves church members from Mexico and the United States.
