The Cedar City Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) under construction in Cedar City, Utah. The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 6, 2013, during the church's semi-annual general conference.[4][5] The temple was announced concurrently with the Rio de Janeiro Brazil Temple; at the time, the announcement brought the total number of temples worldwide to 170. It will be the 17th temple to be constructed in Utah.

On Saturday, August 8, 2015, L. Whitney Clayton presided at a groundbreaking to signify the beginning of construction.[1][2]
