Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple is the 99th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Santo Domingo is the Dominican Republic's capital city. Founded in 1496, it is the oldest European settlement existing in the New World. In 1978 the Dominican Republic was opened to Mormon missionaries. By 1986 membership had grown to eleven thousand and in 1998, Mormon Church membership reached sixty thousand. [1] The temple was announced in November 1993.

Before the temple was built in the Dominican Republic, members of the Mormon Church travelled to Peru, Guatemala, or the U.S. state of Florida to attend a temple. The temple open house, held from 26 August to 9 September 2000, attracted nearly forty thousand people. Over ten thousand Dominican Mormons and their neighbors from Haiti, Puerto Rico, and other islands witnessed the dedication of the temple on September 17, 2000 by Mormon Church President Gordon B. Hinckley.

The Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Temple is located in the western part of the city. The site is adorned with trees and overlooks the Caribbean Sea. It has a total of 67,000 square feet, four ordinance rooms, and four sealing rooms.
