Small-Scale Groundbreaking Held for Layton Utah Temple

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit public gatherings, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints determined a traditional groundbreaking for the Layton Utah Temple, with invited guests, was not prudent. The First Presidency assigned the Utah Area Presidency to conduct a small-scale groundbreaking, held Saturday, May 23, so that construction could proceed.

Latter-day Saints and friends in the community are invited to view a recording of the proceedings that will be made available online next week at Newsroom.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
