Monterrey Mexico Temple

The Monterrey Mexico Temple is the 110th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

The Monterrey Mexico Temple was the LDS Church's 12th temple built in Mexico. It serves over 91,000 members in the city of Monterrey and the northeast of the country in general. Prior to the construction of the temple, members had to travel as long as 25 hours and cross the U.S.–Mexico border to attend Spanish-speaking sessions at the Mesa Arizona Temple.

History
Due to local resistance to the original site chosen, ground was not broken for five years following the announcement of the temple. Although the church won a three-year legal suit, officials decided to relocate the structure to appease neighbors of the original site. The new temple site is located in the Huajuco zone of Monterrey along the National Highway. Construction on the temple began on November 4, 2000.

A two-week open house prior to the dedication of the temple attracted about 40,000 people. Among the attendees were business, government, civic leaders, and officials from other religious faiths. On April 28, 2002, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Monterrey Mexico Temple, the 75th he had dedicated.

The Monterrey Mexico Temple has a classic modern design with a single spire. The exterior is finished with white granite. It has a total of 16498 sqft, two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.

In 2020, like all others in the church, the Monterrey Mexico Temple was closed for a time in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
