President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced 15 new temples during the concluding session of the April 2025 general conference.

The temples will be built in the following locations:

• Reynosa, Mexico
• Chorrillos, Peru
• Rivera, Uruguay
• Campo Grande, Brazil
• Porto, Portugal
• Uyo, Nigeria
• San Jose del Monte, Philippines
• Nouméa, New Caledonia
• Liverpool, Australia
• Caldwell, Idaho

• Greenville, South Carolina
• Norfolk, Virginia
• Spanish Fork, Utah

“We are grateful to the Lord for the acceleration of temple-building in recent years,” said the prophet, who has announced 200 temples since he became president in 2018. “I testify that Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of Israel, leads this, His Church. He is preparing to come again. May we likewise prepare to receive Him.”

In addition to announcing 200 temples, last year the 100-year-old prophet dedicated the Church’s 200th operating house of the Lord.

Today’s announcement brings the total number of temples—operating, under construction, or announced—to 382.
