The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the schedule for the open house and dedication of the Syracuse Utah Temple. A media day is set for May 7, 2025, followed by tours for invited guests on May 8 and 9. The public can visit from May 10 to May 31, excluding Sundays.
The temple will be dedicated in a single session on June 8, 2025. This dedicatory session will be broadcast to all units within the temple district.
Church President Russell M. Nelson first announced the Syracuse Utah Temple during the April 2020 general conference. He remarked, “Temples are a crowning part of the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” adding that God’s generosity brings temple blessings closer to His children everywhere.
Utah hosts nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints, representing about two-thirds of its population. The new temple in Syracuse will become Utah's 31st temple in various stages of operation or development.
Currently operating temples include those in American Fork (Mount Timpanogos), Bountiful, Brigham City, Cedar City, Draper, Layton, Logan, Manti, Monticello, Ogden, Orem, Payson, Provo (Provo City Center), Saratoga Springs, South Jordan (Jordan River and Oquirrh Mountain), St. George (Red Cliffs and St. George), Taylorsville, Tooele (Deseret Peak), and Vernal. Under construction are temples in Ephraim, Heber Valley, Lindon and Smithfield. Renovations are ongoing at Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple and Salt Lake Temple; additional temples were announced in Lehi, Price and West Jordan in 2024.
Inside each temple are ceremonies teaching about life's purpose and family unity across generations. Church members pledge to uphold God's commandments and support His work by living Christ's teachings while dedicating themselves to building the Church.
