Santiago Dominican Republic Temple

During his general conference message on October 6, 2024, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The Santiago Dominican Republic Temple is one of seventeen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. [1]

The temple in Santiago — the second-largest city in the Caribbean nation — will be the Dominican Republic’s second house of the Lord, following the dedication in 2000 of the Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple. Nearly 150,000 Latter-day Saints in more than 200 congregations reside in the Dominican Republic.[2]

Location

The Santiago Dominican Republic Temple is currently in the planning stages. The specific location will be announced later.
