San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple

Groundbreaking of the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple

The groundbreaking of the San Pedro Sula Honduras Temple was presided over by Elder José Bernardo Hernández, an Area Seventy, on Sept. 5, 2020. Elder Hernández is originally from San Pedro Sula.

In his remarks at the ceremony, Elder Hernández shared that blessings come not only from the temple but also from preparing to enter the temple: “Personal preparation [to go to the temple] will bring to our lives many unimaginable blessings, such as eternal life and uniting the family for eternity.”

The San Pedro Sula temple was announced April 7, 2019, by President Russell M. Nelson. The groundbreaking and site dedication for this house of the Lord were held on Sept. 5, 2020, and presided over by Elder José Bernardo Hernández, an Area Seventy.

The tower above the building sits on a square base and has an arched window on each side with a domed cupola on top.
