Ground was broken for the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple on Saturday morning, December 16, 2006, by President Gordon B. Hinckley in a service attended by hundreds of faithful members. The new temple is scheduled to be completed in late 2008 or early 2009, and will consist of a 60,000 square-foot edifice situated on a 12-acre plot.

Oquirrh (pronounced "oh-ker") is a Goshute Indian word meaning "shining mountains," a fitting allusion to a temple, which is also known as the "Mountain of the Lord."
