New temple locations announced in England and the Philippines

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the location of the Birmingham England Temple and the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple.

The Birmingham England Temple will be built on a 2.7-acre site located at 185-187 Penns Lane, Sutton, Coldfield, Birmingham, England.

Plans call for a one-story temple of approximately 10,800 square feet, with patron housing and arrival facilities. Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the temple during the Church’s conference in April 2022. “Positive spiritual momentum increases as we worship in the temple and grow in our understanding of the magnificent breadth and depth of blessings we receive there,” the prophet said. “I plead with you to counter worldly ways by focusing on the eternal blessings of the temple. Your time there brings blessings for eternity,” he said, as 17 new temples, including the Birmingham England Temple, were announced.

The Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple will be built on a 4.9-acre site located at Lot 2163-c and Lot 2163-d Rosario Limketkai Avenue, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis.

Plans call for a two-story temple of approximately 18,449 square feet. An ancillary building will also be constructed and include an arrival center, patron housing, and a distribution center.
