Puerto Montt Chile Temple
The Puerto Montt Chile Temple was among the seventeen new temples announced by President Russell M. Nelson during the October 2024 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
Puerto Montt is a port city in southern Chile, and it will be the country’s sixth and southern-most temple, some 651 kilometers south of the Concepción Chile Temple, which was dedicated in 2018. The first temple in Spanish-speaking South America was dedicated in Santiago in 1983. The other temples in the country at the time of the announcement were in Antofagasta, Concepción, Santiago West, and Viña del Mar Chile.[2]
Since one of the Church’s earliest leaders served a mission there in 1851, Chile has become home to more than 607,000 Latter-day Saints in around 570 congregations.
