The public open house for the Syracuse Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints begins this week.
Media attended a news conference and toured the temple on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Those participating in the event included Elder Kevin R. Duncan, Executive Director of the Temple Department, and Sister Kristin M. Yee, Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency.
“It’s not really about the building itself, although it’s a beautiful building, it’s about the promises we make in the house of the Lord and what we feel,” said Elder Duncan. “We invite everybody to come and feel that for themselves.”
“It’s a privilege, always, to testify about Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father and Their love for Their children, and we pray that they might feel the peace and the help that He offers them,” said Sister Yee.
Jamie Bott, a ninth grader who lives nearby, is excited for this new opportunity to serve in a temple close to home. “For me, it’s just a little piece of heaven on earth,” she said. “It’s such a place of peace and comfort and I always am able to feel Christ’s love for me so strongly in the temple.”
Public Open House
Invited guests will tour the temple on Thursday, May 8, and Friday, May 9, 2025. A public open house for the temple will run from Saturday, May 10, through Saturday, May 31, excluding Sundays.
