During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Florianópolis, Brazil. The Florianópolis Brazil Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]

The Florianópolis Brazil Temple will be the 23rd house of the Lord operating, under construction, or announced in the country.

The first known members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to live in Brazil immigrated from Germany in 1913. In 1988, Brazil became just the third country outside the United States to have 50 organized stakes (a group of congregations, similar to a diocese). Today, there are nearly 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in Brazil in approximately 2,175 congregations.[2]

Location

The Florianópolis Brazil Temple is currently in the planning stages. No location has been announced.
