Steeple Framework Installed on the Manhattan New York Temple

A new steeple frame has been erected atop the Manhattan New York Temple, rising above the corner of Columbus Avenue and 65th Street. Installed as part of a major renovation that began on March 2, 2024, the framework stands considerably taller than the previous steeple. Stone cladding will soon cover the lower tiers, while a tapering spire with ornamental gold detailing will rise above them, crowned by a statue of the angel Moroni. Scaffolding continues to surround much of the exterior as renovation work progresses.

Public Invited to Tour the Modesto California Temple

An open house for the newly completed Modesto California Temple began on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with a tour for media and invited guests. The public is invited to tour the building, located at 4310 Dale Road, from October 16 through October 31 (excluding Sundays). The temple’s interior design celebrates the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of California’s Central Valley, including almond blossoms and strawberry motifs that appear in the art glass and millwork. The tones of blue, green and gold were selected to represent the abundance of crops, animals and water in the region.
