As part of the centennial celebration marking 100 years since the dedication of South America for the preaching of the restored gospel, a cultural event was held at the Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay, on October 11, 2025. The gathering brought together civic, religious, and educational leaders, along with members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to honor a century of faith, service, and growth.

The celebration featured music, dance, and spiritual reflection focused on Jesus Christ and the enduring legacy of the Church in Uruguay and throughout South America.

The program included musical performances by choirs, soloists, and dance groups. Selections included “Ask of God,” “Faith in Every Footstep,” “Called to Serve,” “How Firm a Foundation,” and “La Uruguaya,” a traditional song reflecting the friendship and gratitude of the first missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ who arrived in the country.

Local culture was also highlighted through a traditional Uruguayan folk dance and a choral rendition of Rubén Rada’s “Mi País,” underscoring the nation’s rich artistic and spiritual heritage.
