In the October 2021 General Conference, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Vitória, Brazil. The Vitória Brazil Temple is the 14th announced temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for Brazil.[1]

Vitória is the capital of the state of Espírito Santo. It is located on a small island within a bay where several rivers meet the sea in southeast Brazil. The coastal community has two major ports.

There are nearly 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in Brazil in more than 2,100 congregations.[2] Missionary work began in Brazil in 1928.

Location

The Vitória Brazil Temple is currently in the planning stages. The Vitória Brazil Temple will be built at Avenida Leitão da Silva #2055, Iteraré, Vitória-ES. Plans call for a one-story temple of approximately 10,600 square feet.
