Description
Italy is home to more than 28,000 Latter-day Saints in nearly 100 congregations.
History
In 1850, Elder Lorenzo Snow of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was among the first missionaries to serve in Italy. The first congregation of Latter-day Saints was established in 1966, and the first Italian mission was opened later that year in Florence.
Announcement
Plans to construct the Milan Italy 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 Milan Italy Temple will be the second house of the Lord in the country. The first was the historic Rome Italy Temple, which was dedicated in 2019 by President Nelson. Both the First Presidency and the entire Quorum of the Twelve Apostles participated in multiple dedicatory sessions.
