The dates for an open house and the dedication of the new Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple in South Jordan were announced Saturday by the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The open house will take place weekdays from June 1 through Aug. 1, except for the July 4 and July 24 holidays.
The temple will be dedicated Aug. 14-16, with 12 dedicatory sessions scheduled.
The 130th operating temple for the church — the 13th in Utah — was announced at the October 2005 general conference. Groundbreaking ceremonies occurred Dec. 16, 2006.
The temple will serve roughly 83,000 residents in the western Salt Lake Valley. It is the fourth temple in the valley. South Jordan will be the first city in the world with two LDS temples.
The First Presidency also announced Saturday that groundbreaking ceremonies for the Gila Valley Arizona Temple will take place Feb. 14.
