The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple is the 71st operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). [3] [4]
The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple is located in the border city of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, [5] [6] and serves about 12,000 church members in northern Mexico and the adjacent U.S. state of Texas. [3] [7] [8]
About 1,700 members attended the groundbreaking ceremony on January 9, 1999, and after the temple was completed over 25,000 people attended a week-long open house. [3] [9] LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Ciudad Juárez Temple on February 26–27, 2000, and the dedication ceremonies were attended by approximately 8,100 members from El Paso and Juarez. [9]
The Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple has a white marble veneer, a total floor area of 10,700 square feet (990 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms. [4]
In 2020, the Ciudad Juárez Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. [10]
