Natal Brazil Temple
In his closing remarks at the 193rd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in Natal, Brazil.
The Natal Brazil Temple is the 20th announced temple for Brazil. Natal is the capital and largest city in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, on Brazil's northeastern coastal tip. It is known for its extensive coastal sand dunes. Brazil is the third country outside the United States to have 50 organized stakes (a group of congregations, like a diocese). [1]
Location
The Natal Brazil Temple will be built on a 5.53-acre site located at Av. Senador Salgado Filho (BR-101), Nova Parnamirim, Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 19,800 square feet. This will be the first temple in Rio Grande do Norte, a state on Brazil’s easternmost Atlantic coast.
