HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"There is a difference in just attending the temple and having a rich spiritual experience. The real blessings of the temple come as we enhance our temple experience. To do so, we must feel a spirit of reverence for the temple and a spirit of worship."
—L. Lionel Kendrick

Skilled Stone Masons Shape the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple

Granite cladding is bringing the exterior of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple closer to its finished appearance, with skilled stone masons installing panels across the upper floors on the south side of the building. Work has progressed between the large arched windows and has also begun around the base of the tower. Golden window headers crown the tops of the tall arched windows spanning the second and third floors. At the rear of the temple, sidewalks are being poured between the exterior stairways as landscape and hardscape improvements take shape.
