João Pessoa Brazil Temple
On October 1, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in João Pessoa, Brazil. The João Pessoa Brazil Temple is the 22nd announced temple for Brazil.[1]
João Pessoa is a port city in northeastern Brazil and the largest city in Paraíba state. The first known members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to live in Brazil immigrated from Germany in 1913. In 1988, Brazil became just the third country outside the United States to have 50 organized stakes (a group of congregations, similar to a diocese). Today, there are nearly 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in Brazil in approximately 2,175 congregations.[2]
Location
The João Pessoa Brazil Temple is currently in the planning stages. No location has been announced.
