Members of the public are invited to tour the renovated Hamilton New Zealand Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during a free open house beginning Friday, August 26, 2022. The open house runs through Saturday, September 17, 2022 (except for August 28, September 4 and September 11, 2022).
A youth devotional will be held on Saturday, October 15, the day before the rededication. The temple will be rededicated on Sunday, October 16, by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Three dedicatory sessions will be held at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.
The Hamilton New Zealand Temple, which was originally dedicated on April 20, 1958, by President David O. McKay, has been closed since July 2018 for extensive renovation. The temple currently serves all Latter-day Saints in New Zealand. An additional temple is under construction in Auckland and it was recently announced that another temple will be built in Wellington.
New Zealand is home to nearly 117,000 Latter-day Saints in 30 stakes and almost 230 congregations.
