HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
"No jot, iota, or tittle of the temple rites is otherwise than uplifting and sanctifying. In every detail the endowment ceremony contributes to covenants of morality of life, consecration of person to high ideals, devotion to truth, patriotism to nation, and allegiance to God."
—James E. Talmage
LATEST NEWS & EVENTS
Cladding the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple Tower
Cladding of the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple tower in stone has been the focus of the installing crews over the past several weeks. Once completed, the scaffolding will come down and the unfinished areas at the northwest corner of the temple and around the portico can be completed. The temple stands in a picturesque setting near a tree-covered knoll along the McKenzie River.
Building the Steeple Pedestal Atop the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple
Reinforced concrete walls have been constructed for the main body of the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple, and work has begun on building the steeple pedestal that sits over the center of the building. Hip roofs have been added to the ancillary buildings, located on the north and south sides of the property. Construction on the project began almost 16 months ago in November 2023.
Adding a Sheathing Layer to the Wichita Kansas Temple
Framing has topped out for the multi-tiered tower atop the Wichita Kansas Temple. It will later be capped with a pyramidal spire and finial. On the main body of the temple, a sheathing layer is being attached to the exterior surfaces of the modules. Hanging brackets will then be attached for securing the cladding panels. Construction has been underway for approximately six months.
Planting Vegetation on the Yorba Linda California Temple Grounds
On the grounds of the Yorba Linda California Temple, a variety of plants, trees, and shrubs are being planted in the flowerbeds and garden areas. Walkways are being paved, lamp posts installed, and fence panels hung. On the exterior, cladding and roofing are progressing as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing move forward on the interior. Tile is being laid on the floors and some of the walls as millwork is installed in the rooms.
