Announcement

Plans to construct the Juchitán de Zaragoza Mexico Temple were announced by President Russell M. Nelson on 06 October 2024, at the 192nd Semi-Annual General Conference.

“Why are we building temples at such an unprecedented pace?” asked the prophet, who has announced 185 temples — more than half of all temples in the Church — since 2018. “Why? Because the Lord has instructed us to do so. The blessings of the temple help to gather Israel on both sides of the veil. These blessings also help to prepare a people who will help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord!”[1]“The Prophet Announces 17 New Temples at the October 2024 General Conference.” newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org, 6 Oct. 2024, newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/october-2024-general-conference-new-temples.

The Juchitán Mexico Temple will be the 26th house of the Lord in the country.
