The groundbreaking for the Auckland New Zealand Temple is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 13, the First Presidency announced today on Newsroom.
Although further details about the temple are expected to be released later, the president of the Pacific Area of the Church, Elder Ian S. Ardern, will preside at the groundbreaking ceremony and attendance at the event will be by invitation only. The general public is invited to view the ceremony live from local Church meetinghouses throughout New Zealand.
The site of the Auckland temple is located 14 miles southeast of the city of Auckland, on Redoubt Road in Manukau, New Zealand. The New Zealand Missionary Training Center is located just to the south of the site with the Auckland New Zealand Redoubt Stake Center just to the north.
President Russell M. Nelson announced the temple in the October 2018 general conference, along with 11 other temples.
