On October 2, 2022, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Londrina, Brazil. The temple is the 17th announced temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for Brazil.[1]
Londrina, Brazil is a city located in the state of Paraná in southeastern Brazil. The state is home to Iguaçu Falls, with hundreds of cascades straddling the border with Argentina and Paraguay. This will be the second temple in the state of Paraná with the first temple in Curitiba. There are 1.5 million Latter-day Saints in Brazil in more than 2,100 congregations.[2]
Location
The Londrina Brazil Temple is currently in the planning stages. The Londrina Brazil Temple will be built at Avenida: Harry Prochet, S/N, Jardim São Jorge, Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 32,000 square feet.[3]
Groundbreaking Held
Elder Ciro Schmeil, First Counselor in the Brazil Area Presidency, presided at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Londrina Brazil Temple.
“It was the effort, faith and patience of many that allowed us to be here this morning to break ground on the Londrina Brazil Temple,” he said.
During the dedicatory prayer, Elder Schmeil asked that the presence of the temple would be a blessing to all in the region.
“May all members and nonmembers who reside in this temple district feel Your love and mercy and thus have the desire to draw closer to You through the sacred covenants made in the temples,” he prayed.[4]
