Elder Hutch U. Fale of the United States West Area Presidency will preside at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Coeur d'Alene Idaho Temple on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The temple will be constructed on a 10.91-acre property located at the corner of Hanley Avenue and Coeur Terre Boulevard in Coeur d'Alene. Plans call for a single-story building of approximately 29,630 square feet, a meetinghouse, and an accompanying ancillary building.

At the Jacksonville Florida Temple site, the partial basement and reinforced concrete foundation have now been completed, as work transitions from below-grade development to the erection of the temple's structural frame. Located along the St. Johns River near Florida’s Atlantic coast, Jacksonville is known for its extensive urban park system, large metropolitan footprint, and connection to the surrounding coastal region.

Stone cladding continues to advance across the exterior of the Natal Brazil Temple, where large sections of architecturally detailed stonework now cover the lower walls. Decorative moldings, window surrounds, and other ornamental elements are giving the temple's exterior its distinctive character, while remaining elevations are wrapped in a weather-resistant vapor barrier awaiting their finished stone façade.

Exterior wall construction at the Birmingham England Temple is advancing as crews install light-gauge steel wall framing and exterior sheathing across the temple's structural frame. The sheathing will provide the substrate for the exterior cladding system that will follow. Work is progressing on multiple elevations, with scaffolding surrounding the base of the steeple to facilitate continued construction. The temple is rising on the site of the former mission office.
