That a Mormon temple would be built in Concepcion Chile, was announced by President and Prophet Thomas S. Monson at the Saturday morning session of the 179th General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 3, 2009.

The Chilean news publication, Diario El Sur, reports that a 2.5-acre site has been acquired by the Church for the construction of the Concepción Chile Temple in Quinta Junge—a modern residential development in a beautifully forested area on the Biobío River.

This temple will be Chile's second. The nation's other temple—the Santiago Chile Temple (1983)— currently serves 105 stakes and districts from Chile and Argentina. President Monson noted that 83 percent of Church members now live within 200 miles of a temple.
