On April 3, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Modesto California Temple.
Modesto (Spanish for modest) is known for its rich agricultural history. This will be the 10th temple in California. This city in the Central Valley is the county seat and largest city of Stanislaus County. California has about 735,000 Latter-day Saints in over 1,180 congregations. Other temples in the state are the Feather River, Fresno, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Oakland, Redlands, Sacramento, San Diego, and Yorba Linda temples.[1] Temples were announced for Bakersfield and San Jose by President Nelson in the April 2023 general conference.
