During the 190th annual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held in April 2020, President Russell M. Nelson announced that one of the eight new temples to be constructed would be in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
Argentina is home to more than 470,000 Latter-day Saints in approximately 735 congregations.
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the groundbreaking for the Bahía Blanca Argentina Temple. The ceremony will be held Saturday, 9 April 2022. Elder Joaquin E. Costa of the Quorum of the Seventy, and the second counselor in the Church’s South America South Area presidency and a native of Concordia, Argentina, will preside at the event. Attendance will be by invitation only.
In addition to the groundbreaking announcement, the Church released a site location and exterior rendering for what will be the Church’s fifth temple in the South American nation. The other four temples in Argentina are the Buenos Aires Argentina Temple, Cordoba Argentina Temple, Salta Argentina Temple, and the Mendoza Argentina Temple.
