Construction of the João Pessoa Brazil Temple is advancing rapidly as precast concrete tilt-up panels are lifted into place to form the building’s exterior walls. A large crawler crane hoists each panel into position, where temporary braces secure the panels until permanent structural connections are completed. Structural beams and columns are also being installed, while crews prepare additional panels for placement.

Crews continue installing steel beams and columns for the two-story frame of the Wellington New Zealand Temple, located in the community of Porirua, while completing structural connections. Aerial work platforms and a telescopic crane support the ongoing work at various elevations. A guardrail system has been installed around the upper level as crews prepare for the next phases of construction.

More than 30 media representatives were welcomed to tour the new Miraflores Guatemala City Guatemala Temple on Monday, August 24, 2026. The event marked the beginning of the open house, which will allow the public to tour the temple's interior from Thursday, August 27, through September 12. "The construction of the Miraflores Temple represents much more than a historic milestone. It is a blessing that will bring the house of the Lord closer to many families, allowing them to participate more frequently in the blessings received in the temple," said Elder Patricio M. Giuffra, President of the Church’s Central America Area.

Elder Michael Cziesla of the Europe Central Area Presidency will preside at the groundbreaking services for the Vienna Austria Temple on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The 15,300-square-foot (1,420-square-meter) temple will be constructed on a 0.8-acre (0.32-hectare) site located at Silbergasse 2 in Vienna. More than 4,700 members of the Church reside in Austria, meeting in 17 congregations. It will be the first house of the Lord in the country.
