The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the dates for the open house and dedication of the Farmington New Mexico Temple, which will be the state’s second house of the Lord.

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will dedicate the Farmington New Mexico Temple on Sunday, Aug. 17, with the single dedicatory session to be broadcast to all units in the temple district.

Prior to the dedication, a media day, a series of tours and a public open house will be held at the recently completed house of the Lord.
