Maracaibo Venezuela Temple
During his general conference closing message on April 7, 2023, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Maracaibo, Venezuela. The Maracaibo Venezuela Temple is one of fifteen newly announced temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1]
The Maracaibo Venezuela Temple will be the second house of the Lord operating, under construction, or announced in the country. The Caracas Venezuela Temple was one of many temples dedicated by Church President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008) in 2000.
Venezuela is home to more than 175,000 Latter-day Saints spread over 230 congregations. In the early 1960s, U.S. expatriates working in Venezuela held Church meetings in their homes until 1966, when the first official congregation was organized. The first Venezuelan Latter-day Saint was baptized in 1967.
