BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Exact Groundbreaking Dates Unofficially Confirmed for 3 Temples in the United States

Hello again, everyone! As some of you might recall, a comment on this blog on Saturday that was posted by Eric S. noted the report that the groundbreaking for the Deseret Peak Utah Temple was scheduled to occur this Saturday (May 15). Today, the construction status page for the Church Temples site unofficially confirmed that information. But more than that, the page in question also noted exact dates for next month's groundbreakings for the Talahassee Florida Temple (Saturdy June 5) and the Syracuse Utah Temple (Saturday June 12).

Although the Church won't be officially confirming the dates of each of these groundbreakings until the exact days on which they each occur, generally, if the Church Temples site notes a date in advance of that confirmation, that information has traditionally proven correct. So I have no doubts that each of these temples will have their groundbreakings on those exact dates. I continue to also believe that the probability that other temples could have groundbreakings in June, July, or August remains relatively high.

Particularly, any of the remaining 6 or 7 temples for which sites have been confirmed or renderings have been released could have groundbreakings set, which also applies to any temples that could have sites confirmed, renderings released and even groundbreakings set in one go. Again, in my opinion, we have barely scratched the surface of the major temple announcements which will come down the pike throughout the rest of the year. I will do my best to track all of that aand bring you word on the latest developments as I am able to put that analysis together.

I likewise continue to follow all major Church news updates and will be sure to pass along my take on those as they are reported also. That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

    1. Jim Anderson, thanks for sharing that link. I came across that myself last night through a page on the Church Temples site, but when I wanted to subsequently share that here, I couldn't find it again. So thanks for passing that along. I have more information on the groundbreaking for the Deseret Peak temple, which I will share in the comment threads of my latest post. In the meantime, thanks again for sharing that information. Always appreciate hearing from you.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
