Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with government, interfaith, and community leaders, gathered on Saturday, June 28, 2025, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Singapore Temple—the first temple of the Church in the country.
Among the honored guests was Mr. Desmond Lee, Minister for Education and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration, who joined more than 500 attendees on site and other locations in commemorating this significant milestone.
Elder Kelly R. Johnson of the Asia Area Presidency presided at the ceremony and offered a dedicatory prayer. “As we break ground,” he prayed, “please bless us with a greater determination to prepare now for the Second Coming of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, and to make our discipleship of Jesus Christ our highest priority.”
