On 4 April 2021, at the 191st Annual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Torreón México Temple. This will be Mexico’s 16th temple.
Torreón is a city in the Mexican state of Coahuila with a population of about 635,000 people.
México is home to approximately 1.5 million Latter-day Saints, more than any other country outside the United States, and 1,800 congregations. Missionary work began in Mexico in 1875.
The Torreón México Temple will be constructed on a 0.89-acre site at the corner of Paris and Amsterdam Streets in the city of Gómez Palacio. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 10,000 square feet. The temple will serve more than 32,000 Latter-day Saints.
An official exterior rendering of the Torreón México Temple was released on 23 September 2021.
Groundbreaking Announced
Groundbreaking services for the Torreón Mexico Temple will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2022. Elder Hugo Montoya, Mexico Area President, will preside at the event.
