Reservations for the public open house of the San Diego California Temple are now available. Tours are completely free, but reservations are strongly encouraged due to limited parking. Visitors will be welcomed daily from Thursday, June 18, through Saturday, July 11, 2026, with no tours held on Sundays. Following the open house, the temple will be rededicated on Sunday, August 23, before resuming regular operations.

Construction is in the early stages at the Cape Town South Africa Temple site, where utility infrastructure is being installed and preparations are underway for the foundations of the three primary buildings—the temple, a meetinghouse, and an arrival center. These below-grade systems lay the groundwork for the next phases of construction. Work on the project has progressed steadily over the past six months.

Visible improvements are taking shape across the grounds of the Freetown Sierra Leone Temple, where the monument sign has been installed in the landscaped strip across from the main entrance. Royal palm trees have been planted along the strip and elsewhere on the property, while flowerbeds are being filled with hundreds of plantings. These developments mark a transition from structural work to interior finishing and site beautification.
