The Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple is the 72nd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Hermosillo, capital of the northern state of Sonora, was one of the first areas in Mexico to have Mormon missionaries.

History

The church announced the building of the temple in Hermosillo on 20 July 1998. LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple on February 27, 2000.[1] The temple has a total floor area of 10,769 square feet (1,000.5 m2), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.[1]

In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Hermosillo Sonora Mexico Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[2]
