Cladding the Steeple of the Birmingham England Temple
Stone cladding has begun on the steeple of the Birmingham England Temple, adding the first exterior stone finishes to the temple's prominent architectural feature. The work marks another step toward completing the temple's exterior. Plans for England's third temple were announced in April 2022, and groundbreaking services were held in March 2025. The temple is rising on Penns Lane next to the Wylde Green Ward meetinghouse.
Zoning Change and Preliminary Plat Approved by Spanish Fork City Council
On October 6, the Spanish Fork City Council approved a zone change and preliminary plat for Oak Village, a master-planned development where the Spanish Fork Utah Temple will be located. The preliminary plat includes 110 single-family residential lots, while three separate parcels are designated for the existing meetinghouses and future temple. Plans for the residential neighborhood include improved road connections, pedestrian trails, and frontage improvements along 100 South and Spanish Fork Parkway. A roundabout is also planned as part of the development. The temple remains in the design phase, and final plans will be submitted to the City later.
Stonework and Landscaping Advance at the Austin Texas Temple
Stone cladding is progressing across the Austin Texas Temple, with workers installing a course of gray stone along the base of the building and a light-colored stone veneer on the tower and mezzanine-level walls. Stairs are being installed to connect the east parking area with the temple grounds, while ornamental fencing is being installed around the property. Landscaping is also advancing, with topsoil placed and trees planted at the northeast corner of the site.
Port Vila Vanuatu Temple Brings worship Closer to South Pacific Members

Announced in October 2020, the temple will remove the need for local members to travel more than 700 miles to the Suva Fiji Temple. Construction has been underway for the past three-and-a-half years, and the temple president and matron have been called.
