The Pocatello Idaho Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Pocatello, Idaho.
History[]
The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 2, 2017.[2] The Pocatello Idaho Temple was announced concurrently with 4 other temples.[5] At the time, the number of the church's total number of operating or announced temples was 182 with this announcement.
On March 16, 2019, a groundbreaking to signify beginning of construction was held, with Wilford W. Andersen of the Seventy, presiding.[6] The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by an interfaith group and Taysom Hill of the New Orleans Saints spoke at the event.[7] Construction is expected to last for several years and, as of August 2019, the site was noted to attract "several visitors every day".[8]
In March 2019, the church released drawings of the temple, which is three stories tall, is over 67,000 square feet (6,200 m2), and has a spire.[9]
A public open house was held from September 18 to October 23, 2021.[10] The temple was then dedicated on November 7 by M. Russell Ballard.[10][11]
