President Nelson Will Dedicate the Syracuse Utah Temple on June 8, 2025 

Prophet and President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will dedicate the Syracuse Utah Temple on Sunday, June 8, 2025. He will be accompanied by Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

The dedication ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. MDT and will be broadcast to local meetinghouses within the temple district. The dedication will then be rebroadcast to meetinghouses in the temple district at 7 p.m. MDT that same evening.

Prior to the dedication, a three-week open house concluded on May 31, 2025, allowing the public to tour the new edifice.

The prophet announced the Syracuse Temple at the April 2020 general conference. Since becoming president in 2018, President Nelson has announced 200 temples, bringing the total to 382 — more than half of all temples in the Church. This significant expansion of temple building underscores the Church’s focus on Jesus Christ and sacred covenants. As President Nelson emphasized before announcing the Syracuse Temple, “Because Jesus Christ is at the center of everything we do in the temple, as you think more about the temple you will be thinking more about Him.” Last October, the 100-year-old prophet dedicated the faith’s 200th operating temple, a milestone in Church history.

Ground was broken for the Syracuse Temple on June 12, 2021. The three-story temple of some 90,000 square feet stands on a 12-acre site at 1098 South 2500 West, Syracuse, UT 84075. After President Nelson dedicates this house of the Lord, it will be the 22nd temple operating in Utah, which is home to more than 2.2 million Latter-day Saints.
