LDS President Nelson Dedicates Syracuse Utah Temple

President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will dedicate the Syracuse Utah Temple on Sunday, June 8, 2025, accompanied by Elder Quentin L. Cook. The dedication ceremony, set for 4 p.m. MDT, will be broadcast and rebroadcast at 7 p.m. to local meetinghouses within the temple district. The three-story temple, situated on a 12-acre site in Syracuse, is notable for being the first dedicated temple with two baptismal fonts, designed to serve the large youth population in the area. This temple will be the 22nd operating temple in Utah and the Church’s 206th temple overall, reflecting President Nelson’s extensive leadership in announcing and dedicating 200 temples since 2018. President Nelson, who is 100 years old, will have his dedicatory prayer prerecorded, continuing a recent pattern due to his advanced age. The temple's open house concluded after three weeks, allowing thousands of visitors before its closure for dedication.
