Rendering of the San Luis Potosí Temple

On April 3, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the San Luis Potosí Mexico Temple.

This will be the 18th temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico. San Luis Potosí is the capital and the most populous city of the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí in central Mexico. It is one of the area’s main industrial and manufacturing centers. More than 850,000 people reside in the area, making it one of the largest metropolitan centers in Mexico. The house of the Lord that will be built in this city will also serve members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from neighboring states and cities such as Aguascalientes, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, and even León.

The site is nearly 225 miles from Mexico City, requiring a drive of five to six hours to the Mexico City Mexico Temple, the region’s assigned temple until the San Luis Potosí temple is dedicated.

The country is home to 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in more than 1,800 congregations. Missionary work began in Mexico in 1875.[1]

The San Luis Potosí Mexico Temple will be built on a 3.87-acre site at Arboleda 100, Fraccionamiento del Parque in namesake city, with plans for a single-story temple of approximately 9,300 square feet.
