![]() “It means so much for the restored Church and its members to have a temple in Rome, which is the capital of all Christianity and a place where our predecessors as Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ gave their lives. It is a blessing of the Lord to be here and to have our spirits lifted and to receive the inspiration of the Lord to perform the tasks assigned to us as part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” |
President Henry B. Eyring |

![]() “It has been a wonderful experience to be at the dedication of a temple in Rome. In temples we have families sealed forever. Somehow for me it is especially important because of the Italian families I have known and how much families mean to them. ... What a blessing this temple is going to be to all the families in Rome.” |
President M. Russell Ballard |
