Helena Montana Temple
The intent to build the temple was announced on April 4, 2021, by church president Russell M. Nelson, during general conference.[7] A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on June 26, 2021, conducted by Vern P. Stanfill, a church general authority.[10] In June 2021, the LDS Church released the location and rendering for the planned temple,[11] with a groundbreaking, to signify beginning of construction, announced for later in the month.[14] The Alabama-based company, BLOX, which specializes in modular building for hospitals, built the temple in 25 separate modules in its facility in Bessemer, Alabama, which were then put taken to the construction site in Montana and assembled.[18] The design has symbolic elements representing the heritage of the region, intended to provide deeper spiritual meaning to the temple's appearance and function.
