Elder James W. McConkie III of the Europe Central Area Presidency will preside at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Barcelona Spain Temple on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The country's second temple will rise on a 5.4-acre site at the intersection of Avinguda de la Vía Augusta and Avinguda de la Clota in the suburb of Sant Cugat del Vallès. Plans call for a two-story temple and an ancillary building with patron housing, an arrival center, and a distribution center.

The public open house for the Fort Worth Texas Temple has been announced for Thursday, November 5, through Saturday, November 21, 2026 (excluding Sundays). The event will begin with a media day held on Monday, November 2, followed by two days of tours for invited guests. The dedication will take place on Sunday, January 10, 2027, and will be broadcast to all congregations in the Fort Worth Texas Temple district.

On the grounds of the Londrina Brazil Temple, the monument sign has been installed at the entrance, surrounded by colorful flowers. Landscaping is well advanced, with lawns, flowerbeds, and newly planted trees giving the grounds a manicured appearance. Stone cladding continues on the temple’s steeple, while the installed art glass brings color and character to the building when illuminated by the architectural lighting system.

On the east side of the Lethbridge Alberta Temple, rows of parking spaces have been paved with asphalt within the recently installed concrete curbing. Site work continues across the grounds, with forms being set for additional hardscape elements. The west side of the temple is now covered with stone cladding, and installation has begun on the north side. Meanwhile, crews continue applying exterior materials to the temple’s spire, which is being assembled on a staging pad south of the building.
